Supporting Your Roof Safety Responsibilities
The Work at Height Regulations 2005, the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 and the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 provide relevant duties for work at height and work equipment. Which requirements apply depends on the equipment and circumstances.
Inspection intervals should reflect the equipment, manufacturer instructions, applicable requirements, risk assessment, use, environment and previous findings. Events that could affect safety may also call for inspection. Testing and certification requirements are system-specific.

Inspection & Maintenance FAQs
How often should roof safety systems be inspected?
The interval depends on the equipment, applicable requirements, manufacturer instructions, risk assessment, use, environment and previous findings. There is no single interval suitable for every roof safety system. Additional inspection may be needed after events that could affect its safety.
Can you inspect systems installed by another contractor?
Yes. Bespoke Roof Safety offers inspection support for applicable existing installations, including systems installed by other contractors. Contact the team with details of the equipment and any available records to discuss the scope.
What happens if an inspection identifies a problem?
Inspection findings help identify maintenance or remedial requirements. Discuss the findings and the appropriate next steps with the team; the work needed will depend on the system and its condition.
Do you provide inspection documentation?
Bespoke Roof Safety offers certificated testing and inspection records for applicable work. The documentation depends on the equipment and inspection or testing carried out; confirm what is included when arranging the visit.
Can you remind us when another inspection is due?
Bespoke Roof Safety records inspected assets against unique identifiers to support re-inspection reminders. Confirm the relevant schedule and contact details with the team when arranging your inspection.
