The universe of the roofer
Productivity and security are often perceived as contradictory in the coverage trades. However, it is possible to reconcile compliance with standards and efficiency, or even improve your performance thanks to quality equipment.
The dilemma of freedom
The freedom to work outdoors, the adrenaline to evolve in freedom on the roofs ... This of culture, even the charm of the cover. Many roofers are fatalistic on the subject, saying that "everyone falls at least once", or even "if you have never fallen from a roof, you are not a real roofer".
This philosophy is today evolving: beyond the increasingly restrictive normative environment, it is the roofers themselves who wish more and more to protect themselves. The profession of coverage has difficulty recruiting, and risk reduction will be in the coming years a decisive element for the survival of the profession.
Arbitrate between security and efficiency
For the craftsman or the business manager, the question of security often arises as a compromise to be found between compliance with standards and the impact on the profitability of the site.
In the short term, the security of a collective protection site represents a significant investment, between the purchase of equipment and the training of teams. The assembly and disassembly of security also represents an additional cost on each site. When working in PPE, personal protection can appear more as embarrassment than a gain.
But it is a reduced vision of the issues. Indeed, the safety of a site makes it possible to gain productivity in many ways:
More risks of stopping site stop by the labor inspectorate
reduction of accidents risk (income loss / responsibility of the employer)
Effective gain on site: workstation ergonomics, increased work speed
to recruit, motivate and retain their teams
