At the edge of a roof
bull In determining the type of roof edge protection to be used it is necessary to make sure that it will be strong enough to withstand the forces exerted on it should a person fall These forces are dependent upon the momentum of the falling person which in turn depends upon a number of factors including
bull the type of roof surface ndash a person is likely to generate more momentum in falling down a roof with a slippy surface such as glazed roof tiles than one with unglazed tiles
bull the pitch of the roof ndash the steeper the pitch the more speed that is generated
