Safe2Torch
Safe2Torch is an NFRC campaign developed in partnership with contractor and manufacturer members of the NFRC, launched Monday 3 July 2017, which seeks to significantly reduce the risk of roof fires when using gas torches, either to dry out roofs or when used to install torch-on membranes.
Cut the Dust
Respirable crystalline silica (RCS) dust is generated during routine tasks like cutting tiles, slates and mortar. This dust can cause lung cancer, silicosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Its effects are not immediate, exposure builds over time, silently causing damage.
Don't Fall for Fragile
The roofing industry has made real progress in preventing falls from height. But fragile roofs remain one of the most serious and persistent risks in roofing. A fragile roof can fail without warning. One wrong step can lead to life-changing injury or death.
Further resources
Alongside our campaigns, NFRC provides health and safety, wellbeing, and environment guidance and support. Produced by our in-house team of technical experts, with insights from technical, health and safety, and British Standards committees, these resources are a valuable way to stay educated and informed.
