There are several ways to ensure additional safety
when you or others are working on your roof.

Remember to have someone within earshot as a precautionary measure in case anything happens. In extreme weather conditions, such as freezing or extremely warm weather, it is not advisable to work on your roof. (When cold, asphalt shingles are brittle, when too warm, asphalt shingles can streach and tear. Perhaps this goes without saying, but itis never advisable to ascend to work on a roof when it is wet and slippery. Wear shoes with good soles, and clothes with which you can maneuver easily. When using a ladder, if you cannot reach without moving yourself beyond the frame of the ladder, move the ladder, don't risk your own safety. One of the most dangerous parts of a roofing job is the application of the first few rows of tiling. Be sure to have a safety rail on the scaffolding. Stay off Tile Roofs, because tiles can shift easily. By simply walking on them you can cause extensive damage. Hot-tar roofs should only be worked on by professionals. Tar is molten at 400 degrees.
