Questions regarding fall protection issues at UWM should be referred to Dan Walker, Physical Plant Services. Working on roofs that have no parapet wall or railing requires fall protection when working near the roof edge. This safety equipment is provided for worker's protection. Workers must use fall protection where required.
Supervisors are jointly responsible for ensuring workers safety.
Fall protection signs will be posted indicating the precautions needed while servicing rooftop equipment. Roof anchor points have been added to the Mitchell Hall roof. These provide fall protection for workers while clearing ice and snow from above the building entrances. Other buildings will be posted in the near future. A body harness and lanyard are required when working on the AC unit.
