Roof painting and spray application involves working on pitched or fragile roof surfaces using high-pressure airless equipment to apply primer, mid-coat and topcoat. This work triggers High Risk Construction Work duties under WHS Regulation 2025 due to fall risk above 2m, isocyanate/solvent exposure, and walking on roofs.
Hazards identified
3 hazards covered, sorted by priority.
Fatal or catastrophic injury from height
Occupational asthma, sensitisation, respiratory damage
Loss of footing causing fall or strain
Control measures
Hierarchy-of-controls order: elimination → substitution → isolation → engineering → administrative → PPE.
- 1Install perimeter edge protection or use harness with anchored static line before access.
- 2Wear A2-P3 full-face respirator; conduct atmospheric monitoring for isocyanate exposure.
- 3Stop spray work in winds above 23km/h or wet conditions; use roof ladders on pitches above 26°.
