Our Commitment to Safety

Roofing is an inherently risky business.  For that reason, we are absolutely dedicated to roofing safety – for our workers, others at the jobsite, building owners and occupants. We are committed to creating safe working conditions and a securing workforce that can focus on the roofing job at hand.

Royalty Roofing takes great pride in the success of our employees and the satisfaction of our customers. We strive to be leaders in the roofing industry with our established and proven safety program. The program promotes high morale and enables us to complete jobs on time and in a safe manner.

We begin training on day one of employment.  Employees complete safety orientation prior to working on any jobsite. All employees  involved with jobsite activities complete monthly safety training and attend weekly “toolbox talks”  conducted by the safety director.

Also, with respect to safety on the jobsite, we meet with our insurance providers quarterly at various locations, another resource on using safe practices.  We periodically engage a third-party safety consulting company to conduct jobsite visits. Their professional, “outside” viewpoint provides a fresh perspective on Royalty’s safety practices and compliance.

Planning for Safety

Planning for each roofing project begins with safety. Management conducts pre-construction meetings to focus on potential jobsite safety hazards prior to the Royalty crews arriving at the job location. While projects are under construction, the safety team conducts unannounced site safety inspections on a weekly basis to ensure compliance with Royalty’s safety polices and those of our customers.

Our Results

Royalty Roofing strives to develop the proper employee attitude toward accident prevention, instructing employees to recognize hazards by ensuring all operations are performed with the utmost regard for safety. Our achievement is illustrated through an evaluation of Royalty’s EMR over the past 3 years compared to national average in the roofing industry and similar trades.  EMR (Experience Modification Rate) is a number used by insurance companies to gauge both the past cost of injuries and the future chance of risk.  The lower the EMR, the better.  Royalty’s average EMR over the past 3 years is .70 compared to the industry average of 1.00.

At Royalty Roofing, we want to ensure a positive and productive roofing experience and safe working environment for our installation crews and our customers. We make a commitment to maintaining our excellent standing in the roofing industry with respect to the safe completion of all projects that we are involved with.
