Roofing contractors know that safety measures are important, so adding more safety gear means there will be less accidents, right? New research is suggesting otherwise.
Despite the efforts of many roofing contractors stepping up their safety, data shows workplace injuries resulting in death are only increasing year after year. Civil engineers and psychologists looked into the matter, and according to their findings, roofing contractors tend to take more risks when they feel protected by strict safety measures and equipment. As a result, workers are less safe overall.
