This roof access risk assessment template helps councils verify secure access to building roofs and manage safe work at height. It covers access controls, equipment condition and storage, fragile roof and skylight protection, edge protection standards, and travel restraint or fall arrest systems. The checklist includes RF transmitter considerations, signage, and compliance with exposure limits, plus procedures for permits to access and emergency out-of-hours access. Use it to identify hazards, rate risk, assign controls, and keep inspection records up to date.
