When you need this document

ISNetworld, Avetta, Veriforce, or a client prequalification is requiring an uploaded written safety program, or your insurer wants one on file.

A written safety program is the document prequal reviewers and insurers grade you on. Unlike a plan for one job, it has to prove your company has standing policies, assigned responsibilities, and hazard-specific procedures for your trade that apply on every site. This is the file a portal like ISNetworld scores and an insurance carrier keeps on record.

What's inside

  • Safety policy statement and management commitment
  • Assignment of responsibilities and competent persons
  • Hazard identification and control procedures
  • Trade-specific safety programs citing 29 CFR standards
  • Training and toolbox talk program
  • PPE, emergency, and incident investigation procedures
  • Recordkeeping and OSHA 300 procedures
  • Annual review and signature page

Written for roofing work, not a template

Every written safety program we build for roofing contractors is written around the hazards roofing crews actually face: falls from roof edges and openings, ladder use, hot work / torches, heat exposure, material hoisting. Here is the substance that goes into it.

Real roofing jobs where a Safety Program matters

  • Tearing off and re-decking a two-story steep-slope shingle roof while a ground crew loads debris below and no perimeter guardrail is up yet.
  • Running a torch-applied modified-bitumen system on a low-slope commercial roof, with LP torches and hot kettles working next to roof drains and mechanical curbs.
  • Loading bundles of shingles onto the roof by ladder hoist while other trades pass through the drop zone below.

OSHA standards on the Roofing focus list

The Safety Program is generated against these real 29 CFR sections for roofing work, and every citation is validated against a verified standards table before delivery:

  • §29 CFR 1926.501(b)(10): fall protection during roofing work on low-slope roofs, 6 feet or more above a lower level
  • §29 CFR 1926.501(b)(11): fall protection on steep roofs, 6 feet or more above a lower level
  • §29 CFR 1926.502: fall protection systems criteria (guardrails, PFAS, warning lines, safety monitors)
  • §29 CFR 1926.503: fall protection training requirements
  • §29 CFR 1926.1053: ladders
  • §29 CFR 1926.451: scaffolds
  • §29 CFR 1926.352: fire prevention during welding, cutting, and heating (LP torches, hot kettles, torch-applied membrane)
  • §29 CFR 1926.350: gas welding and cutting (handling and securing LP and fuel-gas cylinders on the roof)
  • §29 CFR 1910.1200: hazard communication (adhesives, solvents, hot asphalt)
  • §OSH Act 5(a)(1) General Duty Clause: heat illness prevention

What roofing crews get cited for

The plan is written to close out the issues that draw citations in roofing work:

  • Fall protection, general requirements (29 CFR 1926.501): unguarded roof edges, uncovered skylights and holes, and unanchored harnesses. This is OSHA's single most-cited construction standard, and roofing draws citations under it more than almost any other trade.
  • Ladders (29 CFR 1926.1053): the roof-access ladder not extended 3 feet above the eave, or set at the wrong angle.
  • Hazard communication (29 CFR 1910.1200): missing labels and safety data sheets for the adhesives, solvents, and hot asphalt kept on the roof and in the truck.

Common questions

How fast can I get a written safety program?

Under 30 minutes after you finish the questionnaire, and usually well inside that. It downloads in the browser and a copy lands in your email. If a document needs an extra compliance check it comes by email instead, and we tell you.

Does it cover the OSHA standards for roofing work?

Yes. Roofing documents are generated against a curated focus list including 1926.501(b)(10), 1926.501(b)(11), 1926.502 and more, and every citation is validated against a verified standards table before delivery.

What if the GC or prequal reviewer asks for changes?

Reply to your delivery email and we revise the document free, within 24 hours and as many times as it takes, until your GC or prequal reviewer accepts it.
