Green Roofs

Green roofs are steadily growing in popularity in urban areas throughout the United States. Many of these projects are installed by companies that specialize in green roof technology, while other more traditional contractors like landscapers, roofing contractors or the amalgamation of these traditional trades, can also be involved in the installation of green roofs. The ongoing maintenance of a green roof falls under Federal OSHA's general industry standards. The safety challenges associated with this growing industry have new and very often familiar safety issues.

Workers in the Green Roofs industry are exposed to typical workplace hazards including:

  • fall protection;
  • personal protective equipment;
  • exposure to silica dust;
  • cranes, derricks and hoists;
  • powered industrial trucks (all terrain forklifts);
  • electrical; and
  • heat and cold stress.
