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.
On construction sites with multiple contractors, OSHA can cite more than one employer for the same hazard. Under the multi-employer citation policy, four types of employers may be cited: the creating employer (whose actions created the hazard), the exposing employer (whose workers are exposed), the correcting employer (responsible for fixing the hazard), and the controlling employer (with general supervisory authority over the site). General contractors are frequently cited as controlling employers.

We strive for accuracy, but errors in data processing or establishment matching are possible. Penalty amounts reflect the latest penalty amounts on record in the DOL database and may differ from initial assessments or final amounts after informal conference, settlement, or judicial review. Establishment matching is based on employer name and location as reported in inspection records; some establishments may appear under multiple name variations.
