Upper Roof Protection
Edge protection installed around elevated or upper roof sections on buildings with multiple roof levels — dedicated protection where workers may be exposed to a fall to a lower level.
What is Upper Roof Protection?
Upper roof protection is edge protection installed around elevated or upper roof sections on buildings with multiple roof levels. On buildings where the roof steps up to a higher level, workers on the upper roof section may be exposed to a fall to a lower roof or level below. Upper roof protection provides a dedicated physical barrier around these elevated sections, separate from any protection installed at the lower roof perimeter.
- Dedicated protection for elevated roof sections on multi-level buildings
- Addresses fall risk where workers may fall to a lower roof or level
- Installed separately from lower-level perimeter protection
- Suitable for residential, townhouse, and commercial builds with stepped roof lines
- Installed and removed to suit your roofing program
- Allows roofing trades to work on upper sections with perimeter protection in place
Our Approach
Roof Level Assessment
We assess the building to identify upper roof sections and determine where dedicated edge protection is required at each level.
Upper Section Installation
Protection is installed around the perimeter of the upper roof section, providing a physical barrier at the elevated edge.
Lower Level Coordination
Where lower roof protection is also required, we coordinate both systems to ensure complete coverage across all roof levels.
Trade Access
Once installed, roofing trades can access the upper roof section with perimeter fall protection in place.
Adjustments as Required
If the upper roof configuration requires changes during the roofing phase, we can adjust the system accordingly.
Removal on Completion
Once roofing work on the upper section is complete, we return to remove the system.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is upper roof protection used for?
Upper roof protection is used on buildings with multiple roof levels where workers on an elevated roof section may be exposed to a fall to a lower roof or level. It provides a dedicated physical barrier around the upper roof perimeter.
Is upper roof protection different from standard roof edge protection?
Yes. Standard single storey roof protection covers the outer perimeter of a roof at the building edge. Upper roof protection is specifically for elevated sections within a multi-level roof structure, where the fall risk is to a lower roof or platform rather than to the ground.
Can you install protection at multiple roof levels on the same building?
Yes. We can install and coordinate protection at multiple roof levels on the same building. Contact us with your project details to discuss the best approach.
