NAICS 238160: Roofing Contractors / Construction
This industry comprises specialty trade contractors primarily engaged in roofing activities, including the installation, repair, and maintenance of roofs using shingles, metal, single-ply membranes, and built-up roofing systems.
Common workplace hazards include falls from roof edges and through skylights and roof openings, burns from hot asphalt and tar kettles, and heat-related illness from working on sun-exposed roofs. Workers may also face risks from power tool injuries, chemical exposure from adhesives, and lifting heavy materials to roof level.
Construction consistently has the highest number of OSHA inspections for several reasons: the industry has one of the highest fatality rates of any sector, worksites change frequently (creating new hazards), many construction operations are visible from public areas (making observation easier), and OSHA runs multiple National Emphasis Programs targeting construction hazards. The transient nature of construction work also means new employers continuously enter the inspection pool.
