Roofing Compliance — Fall Protection, PASMA & Hot Works Tracking

Falls from height are the leading cause of construction fatalities. Track every roofer's fall protection, PASMA, IPAF, and hot works certificate — automated alerts before anything expires.

14-day free trial · No credit card required

Falls from roofs and through fragile surfaces account for more construction fatalities than any other cause in both the US and UK. OSHA consistently lists fall protection as the number one most-cited violation. Beyond the human cost, a single enforcement notice for working at height without valid training can shut down your entire site. Certivenza keeps every roofer's certifications current so you can focus on the job.

The compliance challenges roofing & cladding businesses face

Without a dedicated system, lapsed certifications and missed renewals put your business at risk.

Annual fall protection training is missed during busy seasons

OSHA requires fall protection training and retraining when conditions change. During busy roofing seasons, retraining gets pushed back and isn't documented, leaving sites exposed during surprise inspections.

Hot works permits need valid certificate holders on site

Bitumen torch roofing requires a valid hot works certificate. Insurance will refuse a fire claim if the roofing team on site didn't include a valid certificate holder — an issue many contractors only discover post-incident.

PASMA mobile tower cards expire and go untracked

PASMA cards expire every 5 years. Workers often assume their card is still valid because they haven't been challenged. The first indication of a lapse is a site safety officer refusing site access.

Asbestos awareness is mandatory but often skipped for reroofing

Any roofer disturbing older roof materials must hold valid asbestos awareness training. Reroofing old industrial units without awareness training leaves workers exposed and businesses liable for HSE prosecution.

Frequently asked questions

Does OSHA require annual fall protection training for roofers?

OSHA 29 CFR 1926.503 requires fall protection training before workers are exposed to fall hazards, and retraining when there is reason to believe a worker lacks the required understanding. Most roofing contractors do annual refreshers as standard practice and to satisfy insurance requirements.

How do I track hot works certificate holders across multiple active sites?

Certivenza's compliance matrix shows every worker's hot works certificate status. You can filter by job site if you tag workers by site in the department field. Managers see at a glance which sites have a valid certificate holder present.

Can Certivenza send the asbestos awareness renewal reminder to the worker directly?

Yes. The worker gets the 30-day alert, and their line manager gets copied in at 14 and 7 days. Workers can upload their refresher certificate through the mobile-friendly self-service portal.

We use both direct employees and subbies on site — can both be tracked?

Yes. Add subcontractor workers as employees in Certivenza with their trade and certification details. Their Cleared-to-Work status updates in real time alongside your direct hires, giving site managers a single view of the whole site workforce.
