Insurance adjusters who are claims specialist are highly prized by claims companies and insurance carriers. One of the highest prized specialized adjusters is those who are qualified and certified in the use of rope and harness to climb steep and high roofs. Adjusters who are specialists in climbing steep and high roofs are usually the first deployed and the last to leave the storm site. This is very important, considering that roofs are ever higher and steeper. Adjusters who are rope and harness certified and qualified not only have more opportunity for more work, but, also have the skill set and training to safely inspect high and steep roofs for damages.
Why Adjusters need Steep and High Rope and Harness Training?
The roof inspection industry is growing and safety of inspectors is now on OSHA's radar. In fact, OSHA requires that there be safety procedures implemented when inspecting roof slopes of 4/12 pitch or greater. A Total of 297,000 workers fell down on the job in 2006 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). Falls cause more lost time than any other class of occupational accident and are the second leading cause of work-related deaths after motor vehicle crashes. Falls account for 8% of occupational fatalities (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). It is our mission to make sure that you are not another statistic.
