The Rooftop Worker Safety & Access course is designed to support the safety of those individuals who access work and work on flat rooftops, for example in the telecommunications and broadcast industry, as well as others. Developed in collaboration with the telecommunications and broadcast industry Mast and Tower Safety (MATS) Group, the scheme standards detail the skills and underpinning knowledge required to access and work safely on flat roofs.
