The CSST reminded employers and workers that clearing snow from roofs can be hazardous. Some safety tips:

• Whenever possible, do the work from the ground.
• Assess the risks associated with weather conditions, the amount of snow and the roof’s location and condition.
• Ensure workers are protected from falls when they’re exposed to a fall of more than three meters.
• Determine the spill area for the removed snow and deny access to it with signs and a rope boundary.
