This pre-roof inspection checklist helps contractors, roofers, and facility managers verify site readiness and safety before accessing a roof. Record site details, parking, welfare and phone signal, then confirm access requirements such as keys and padlocks, final access point, podiums or step systems, and hoop head access. Check ladder presence, condition, and certification, or note if scaffolds, towers, or specialist rope access are required. Verify edge protection, roof lifelines, and anchor certifications, assess lighting and obstructions, and log hazards like asbestos, lead, or pigeons. Capture action points and author details to support compliance and safer work at height.
