Rooftop Plant Maintenance Risk Assessment

What Does This Rooftop Plant Maintenance Risk Assessment Cover?

• Falls from unguarded rooftop edges, plant platforms, and parapet walls causing fatal or serious injury
• Electrical hazard from high and low voltage plant, exposed terminals, and isolation failures during maintenance
• Legionella and biological contamination risk from cooling towers, evaporative condensers, and water systems
• Entanglement in rotating plant including fan blades, belts, and drive shafts during inspection and maintenance
• Manual handling injuries when moving heavy tools, parts, and equipment up ladders and roof access hatches

Each hazard includes an inherent risk rating and a listing of applicable control measures covering areas such as;

• Roof edge protection or safety harnesses on fixed anchor points before any rooftop access
• Safe isolation and lock-off/tag-off procedures for all electrical plant before work commences
• Legionella risk assessment and water treatment scheme maintained; risk-based monitoring and dosing programme in place
• All rotating parts guarded before starting plant; isolation confirmed before any guard removal for maintenance
• Mechanical handling via crane or hoist for heavy components; weight limits on roof access ladders communicated

A residual risk rating is then assigned to each hazard, demonstrating how effective risk management can be used to reduce the overall risk to a tolerable level.
