The biggest hazards include falls from the edge, ladder accidents, lifting heavy bundles of shingles, cuts, burns, shocks, and falling through a bad roof. Professional roofers manage these dangers with personal fall arrest systems, roof ladders, special traction footwear, hard hats, and more.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7c9665ad elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7c9665ad\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<table class=\"responsive-table\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Time to Read<\/strong><\/td><td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">~7 Minutes<\/span><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>What You&#8217;ll Learn<\/strong><\/td><td><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why DIY roofing is so dangerous<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The safety risks involved in roof work<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How fall harnesses and other safety equipment can help<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why it&#8217;s always better to hire a professional roofer<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Next Steps<\/strong><\/td><td><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contact a roofer in your area for advice<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn how to use safety equipment before you get up on the roof<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider making Roof Maxx a part of your maintenance plan<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a25cd63 e-con-full post-lf-main e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"a25cd63\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-676a858c e-con-full post-lf-main-text-inicial e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"676a858c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-796ed5c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"796ed5c7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pulled muscles, puncture wounds, broken bones, and traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries are surprisingly common injuries when people fall off the roof of their home.
