Pre-Work Site Conditions

Check for loose debris, open penetrations, unsecured cords/hoses, and other walking-surface hazards in the active work area.
Verify guardrails, covers, warning lines, or other approved protection is in place where required for edges, skylights, and roof openings.
Materials, scrap, fasteners, and packaging are controlled so they do not create a walking or falling-object hazard.
Verify the path from ground level to the roof access point is unobstructed and not exposed to unauthorized entry.

Fall Protection

Verify each exposed worker is protected by guardrail, safety net, personal fall arrest system, or another approved method appropriate to the task.
Check that anchorages are suitable for the intended load and installed/used per manufacturer and site fall protection plan requirements.
Inspect harnesses, lanyards, lifelines, connectors, and SRLs for cuts, fraying, deformation, corrosion, or other visible defects.
Confirm a site-specific rescue plan exists for a suspended or fallen worker and the crew knows the immediate response steps.
Where used, verify perimeter controls are continuous, properly placed, and not bypassed by workers or materials.

Ladders and Roof Access

Verify safe transition at the top of the ladder and secure access/egress at the roof edge or landing.
Check rails, rungs, feet, and tie-off/anti-slip condition. Ladder must not shift, wobble, or show damage.
Confirm workers are using the ladder safely and not carrying loads that prevent safe climbing.
Verify hatch, door, or access opening is controlled so workers do not fall through or enter unsafely.

Hot Work and Fire Prevention

Confirm permit, authorization, and scope are in place before hot work begins.
Verify extinguisher is within immediate reach of the hot work area, unobstructed, and serviceable.
Check for tarps, insulation, adhesives, solvents, packaging, and other combustibles within the hazard zone.
Confirm a trained fire watch is assigned and remains in place for the required duration after hot work.

Weather and Environmental Conditions

Record current conditions and verify work is not proceeding in unsafe wind, rain, lightning, ice, or other hazardous weather.
Confirm the walking/working surface does not present an unsafe slip hazard from moisture, frost, ice, or debris.
Verify the crew knows when work must stop and where to shelter if severe weather develops.

Material Staging and Housekeeping

Confirm bundles, tools, and supplies are positioned to prevent falling objects and do not encroach on edge protection.
Verify material quantity and placement do not exceed structural or manufacturer limits for the roof area in use.
Check that loose materials, membrane rolls, insulation, and tools are restrained or stored to prevent movement.

Inspection Sign-Off

Record all non-conformances, immediate controls, and responsible person for follow-up.
Signature of the competent person or designated inspector completing the daily roofing safety walk.
