A working safety program.
Not a poster on the wall.

The program
Four pillars, every project.
These aren't nice-to-haves. They are the conditions under which our crew shows up.
Fall protection first
Anchor points, harnesses, and roof-edge controls go up before tools come out. We use CSA-certified gear inspected before every shift, and we never freelance on residential walkable slopes — even short jobs get tied off.
Job hazard analysis (JHA)
Every site gets a written JHA before mobilization: power lines, slope, access, neighbouring property, weather window, and rescue plan. The crew lead signs it. You can request a copy anytime.
Toolbox talks, weekly
Short, real, written-down. Topics rotate with the season — heat stress in July, ice and visibility in November, ladder discipline year-round. Records kept for two years minimum.
Incident response & reporting
Near-miss and incident reporting is non-punitive. We investigate root cause within 24 hours, share corrective actions across all crews, and notify the homeowner or property manager in writing when relevant.
PPE standard
The gear our crew never works without.
Issued by the company, replaced when worn, and inspected at the start of every shift. If you see a Praetoria crew on your roof without it, call the office and we'll come fix it that day.
Saskatchewan-specific
Protocols built for prairie weather.
Wind, deep cold, and torch work each get their own written stop-work and resume rules.
Storm & high wind
Work stops at sustained 40 km/h or gusts above 60 km/h on roof decks. Tarps and tie-downs deploy before the front arrives, not after.
Cold weather
Below −20 °C with wind chill we shorten rotations, add warming breaks, and switch to cold-weather-rated membranes and fasteners only.
Hot work & torch-down
Fire watch posted for a minimum of 60 minutes after torch shutdown, with extinguishers staged within 3 m of the work area at all times.
On-site conduct
Respect the property. Always.
City of Regina permits
Permits pulled by us, posted on site, and closed out with inspections — never your problem to chase.
Waste & disposal
Asphalt shingles, metal, and packaging are sorted on site. Diversion receipts available on commercial jobs.
Privacy & site security
Crew vehicles marked, ID visible, no smoking on property, and yard left swept and magnet-rolled for nails every evening.
For property managers & GCs
Need our safety package for a bid or pre-qualification?
We'll send WCB clearance, COI, written OH&S program, and a sample JHA — usually within one business day, often the same afternoon.
