Dimos' commitments
Productivity and safety are often perceived as contradictory in the roofing industry. However, it is possible to reconcile compliance with standards and efficiency, and even improve performance, through the use of quality equipment.
The dilemma of freedom
The freedom to work outdoors, the adrenaline rush of moving freely on rooftops… This is part of the culture, even the charm, of roofing . Many roofers are fatalistic about it, saying that “everyone falls at least once,” or even that “If you’ve never fallen off a roof, you’re not a real roofer.”.
This philosophy is currently undergoing significant change: beyond the increasingly restrictive regulatory environment, roofers themselves are increasingly seeking to protect themselves. The roofing industry is experiencing recruitment difficulties, and risk reduction will be a crucial factor for the industry's survival in the coming years.
Balancing safety and efficiency
For the craftsman or business owner, the question of safety often arises as a compromise to be found between compliance with standards and the impact on the profitability of the construction site.
In the short term, securing a worksite with collective protection measures represents a significant investment, including the purchase of equipment and the training of teams. The assembly and disassembly of the safety equipment also represents an additional cost on each site. When working in personal protective equipment (PPE), individual protection can sometimes seem more of a hindrance than a benefit.
But this is a limited view of the issues. Indeed, securing a construction site can increase productivity in many ways:
Reduced risk of work stoppages by the Labor Inspectorate;
lower risk of accidents (loss of income/employer liability);
increased efficiency on the worksite: improved workstation ergonomics, increased work speed;
management tool for recruiting, motivating, and retaining teams
