Heat Illness Prevention Plan Checklist

Protect roofers from heat illness with planned water, shade, rest, rotation, and emergency response. This checklist follows best practices for steep and low slope environments, where reflective surfaces and heavy lifting increase heat stress. Use it to keep crews healthy, maintain production, and comply with safety requirements in hot weather

Check forecast and set heat level

Stage water at roof and ground

Set shade at access points

Schedule rest breaks and post times

Rotate high-strain roles

Pair buddies and review symptoms

Confirm EMS info and a designated responder

Stock electrolytes at shade stations

Log any heat incidents
