Roofing accident highlights importance of income protection cover

People working with roofing companies may want to ensure they have products such as accident, illness and unemployment cover in place to cater for incidents such as one that has recently led to the prosecution of a sector operator.

Tower Roofing has been prosecuted by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) after a worker named Lee Bridge had a roof cave in under him while he was cleaning guttering.

According to the HSE, the incident at a Swinton-based manufacturer saw the worker fall more than four metres although his fall was broken by a stack of pallets midway before he landed on the concrete floor.

HSE inspector Angelica Rutherford-Hacon said that Mr Bridge "is lucky to be alive and would have been seriously injured if the pallets hadn't broken his fall", adding that the roof should have been secured before he went on it.

Such incidents underscore the importance of workers looking at ways of ensuring their earnings are protected against any eventuality.

Having accident, illness and unemployment cover ensures a continued source of income in case one is unable to work while recovering from such an incident.
