The original Cougar Paws became the only boots I wear while roofing or conducting elevated training exercises.

The recent heatwave reinforces the need for roofing contractors to follow this life-saving pattern: water, rest, shade, repeat.

Recent medical studies of rampant opioid prescriptions put our society as far as twenty years into this conflict.

Echoes of an important message from another leading skilled trade should resonate with roofing contractors.

When it comes to totally eliminating all fatal falls from roofs, fall prevention (guardrails and restraint) certainly takes precedence over fall protection (PFAS and safety nets).

The international fall-protection industry retroactively developed the suspension trauma relief strap as a marketable add-on to their line of full body harnesses.

On Aug. 1, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) implemented its new maximum penalty system.

In roofing, “free climbing” operations essentially indicate the employer’s lack of any concern for worker safety.
