Meeting the Challenges of an Unprecedented Time

This forty-page NFRC Review document reviews the activities that NFRC provided for its members and the wider construction industry during 2020 and 2021. It includes the extensive resources we made available to support the roofing industry to carry on working safely throughout the coronavirus pandemic.

Roofing and Cladding in Windy Conditions (4th Edition)

The purpose of this NFRC roofing and cladding publication is to give guidance on wind speeds and conditions when working may not be practicable or possible, and has the potential to cause harm or injury to roofing operatives, other operatives working nearby and members of the public. Companies may choose to reference this publication within their safety policies.

NFRC Accident Statistics

Each year NFRC Trade Members are required to report on the number of accidents or lost time incidents that have occurred the previous year.

We have had no reported fatalities in the past five years and an accident average of 0.54 per cent for the same period for both employed and labour only subcontractors working for NFRC Members.

This is less than four times the average for all occupations and a staggering eight times less than the construction average for having an accident at work. See the 2020/21 accident stats report.

In 2019/20 NFRC member accident rate was 13 times lower than the HSE industry average.

Roofing Times

Roofing Times is a bi-monthly printed newsletter written by NFRC Supplier Members for NFRC Trade Members. It includes the latest product launches, fascinating case studies, and the latest people moves in the sector.

All previous articles featured within the printed Roofing Times, can be found on the Roofing Times website.

Technical Bulletins and Guidance Notes

We have a whole library of Technical Bulletins and Guidance Notes covering all roofing disciplines. These are regularly updated and are exclusively available to NFRC Members in the Members' Area of this website.

Many of these NFRC technical documents are available for non-members to purchase from the NFRC online document store.
