Why You Need a Safety Expert

By Cass Jacoby. 

How to ensure that the safety of the people on your roof comes before anything else. 

As with anything, you know that safety comes first. And as an (I would eliminate this because a reader might think that we’re doing residential work or providing safety systems for homes) building owner you want to be positive that the employees working on your roof are as safe as possible. After all, roofing is one of the most dangerous jobs in construction, and serious workplace injuries or death can change lives forever. No one wants a tragedy to happen on their roof! 

That being said, you are likely not a safety expert in these matters. So how do you ensure that your roof is being worked on safely? Enter in Tremco Roofing and WTI, the safety experts.  

Safety is the cornerstone of their business, from industry-leading safety products and services to robust safety practices, Tremco and WTI lives its motto of “leading with safety”. This same commitment is extended to their customers as they help them find solutions needed to make the roof as safe as possible. 

Their rooftop safety products and services include safety evaluations (assessments) following their 3 step approach.  

• Step 1 – Identify the Safety Hazard 

• Step 2 – Explain Why the identified Hazard is a Safety concern + Prioritization 

• Step 3 – Recommend Compliant Solutions to address the identified Safety Hazards  

• (Including detailed Scope of Work, Diagrams, Photos, Turnkey Budgets) 

Their WTI Safety Service Representatives are component persons that educate both the building owners & their employees on the safety hazards and how to properly use the solutions to help ensure their safety when walking and/or working on the roof.  

the safety team and trained/equipped contractors aren’t really related unless we tie this directly to safety, but I think it’s a good idea to say something about the safety team – Phillip, how can we say what they do for customers/contractors in a sentence or two?.  . With Tremco and WTI, you can find the right solution that meets safety requirements and your budget. 

With a goal of zero incidents, Tremco’s and WTI’s Injury rates are consistently lower when compared to industry averages (for the last 15 years). Tremco will not leave the safety and security of employees, installation teams and other on-site trades to chance, and neither should you.
