Flat roof snow removal: do it the safe way

Snow falls are inevitable. But falls from the roof are not.

Last year, you promised yourself it would be the last time. This season, plan your flat roof snow removal operations. Delta Prevention manufactures fall protection equipment that does not require any anchoring in the roof and that complies with all applicable standards.

Flat roof snow removal is an operation that involves several risks: falling from height, burial under snow, injury caused by stress or intense cold. To safely remove snow from a flat roof, effective job planning is essential.

STEP#1: PREPARE YOUR ROOF

  1. Ground snow dumping area
  2. Snow chute bounded by a guardrail
  3. Warning line delimiting the buffer zone
  4. 2 m (6’6 “) buffer zone around the roof. This area will not be cleared of snow.
  5. Skylight or roof access hatch protected by a guardrail
  6. Parapet
