- Accessing the roof
- Securing the tilt-up roof into place
- from the attic,
- the roof top,
- or from the other module
- Completing the roofing material and ridge vent installation
- Workers access attic area from roof

- The 2 major hazards that occur during the tilt-up roof process are:
- Fall Hazards (From the rooftop inside the attic area and from ladders.
- Crushing Hazards (From the tilt-up roof collapsing on the workers).
|
|

|
- Employee rides the roof (the live load) up as he signals the crane
operator.

- Some modular roof designs have an additional hinged roof section that
connects the roof ridge.
- These employees are exposed to fall hazards while tilting this final
section into place.
|
|
11
|
- This employee along with other co-workers are lifting the roof up onto
the support posts.
- These employees are pulling the roof supports into place.
- Both groups are exposed to fall hazards.

- This horizontal lifeline system is designed to be attached to 2x4’s on
residential construction sites and could be installed within the attic
of a module home to be tied off to during the tilt up process.
|
|

|
- These anchor points could be installed on the roof peak and / or on top
off the ceiling joists in the attic area for use during tilt-up roof
procedures.
|
|
17
|
- Once the tilt-up roof work moves to the roof slope, a rope grab could be
installed to a roof peak anchor.
|
|
18
|
- This rope grab is used in conjunction with a roof top horizontal
lifeline that also allows the worker to move side to side on the roof as
well as up and down.
|
|
19
|
- Once the anchor points are in place the employee must properly wear a
full body harness and connect to the anchor point with a proper
connecting device
- The connecting device could be a shock absorbing lanyard, a retractable
lifeline or a rope grab device.

- During this installation 2 individuals were standing under the roof
which was being suspended by a crane.
- The failure of the crane, the hoist line, or the rigging could have
crushed the 2 workers.
|
|
21
|
- This installation involved a crew of 5 that were standing under of roof
suspended by a crane.
- Again, a failure of the crane, hoist line, or rigging would have
resulted in the roof crushing these 5 workers.
|
|
22
|
- These devices can be put in place prior to hoisting the home.
- In this scenario, the employee would still need to access the attic area
but could hoist the tilted roof
without going under the roof.
|
|
23
|
- The roof jacks are able to jack the tilted roof into place from the
ground below on single story installations.
- This eliminates the need to climb into the attic area reducing the
crushing and fall hazards.

|
- Tilting up a modular roof is very dangerous.
- The 2 major hazards are falling from the roof or attic and being crushed
by the tilt-up roof
- Safe alternatives for falls include
- using fall protection while on the roof and in the attic.
- Working from a ladder
- Safe alternatives from the crushing hazard include
- using roof jacks
- using a hook tool
- Working from a ladder
