Here at D-marc we’re committed to ensuring that work at height, namely roofing work, can be carried out in a safe manner with our innovative rooftop barrier solutions.  As such, we keep a close eye on the news for stories about roof work and working at height in general so that we can provide our readers with useful and relevant information that will keep them up to date with what’s going on in our industry.  Once a month, we’ll publish a roundup of the news that affects our sector in one easy place so that readers can get a quick overview of the most important happenings over the past mont

If recent reports are to be believed, off site construction, AKA offsite manufacture (OSM), modular construction and prefabrication, is set to double over the next five years and both the construction industry and the roofing sector need to be ready for the changes that this is likely to bring.  When it comes to roofing work, OSM represents real progress in lowering the risk of falls from height.  With most of the fabrication work already done, the roof can be hoisted into place for fixing and the requirement to work at height, with the risks involved, is minimised a great deal.
