Operational Safety and Hazard Prevention for Temporary Rooftop Work - Counseling Manual

According to statistics from the Ministry of Labor (MOL), falls have consistently been the leading cause of fatal occupational accidents in recent years, accounting for approximately 49% of all major incidents. In particular, falls from roofs are the most common, especially during temporary roof work such as the installation or removal of skylights, ventilation systems, or cooling towers. Due to the small scale and short duration of such projects, safety precautions are often overlooked, as the setup of fall protection systems is perceived as time-consuming and resource-intensive. This neglect of safety management significantly increases the risk of accidents. To address this issue, the Center has developed practical safety prevention materials specifically for temporary roof work. These resources provide comprehensive methods and clear requirements for relevant organizations and personnel, thereby helping to minimize occupational accidents.

The "Operational Safety and Hazard Prevention for Temporary Rooftop Work - Counseling Manual" has been published. This practical guide is intended for all organizations to use as a reference for prevention, awareness, training, and improvement measures. The goal is to minimize temporary rooftop work-related occupational accidents in the construction industry and protect the safety and health of workers.
