Frequently Asked Questions

Does Pennsylvania have its own OSHA standards for roofing contractors?

Pennsylvania is a federal OSHA state, meaning all construction safety standards are enforced directly by federal OSHA Region Region 3 (Philadelphia, PA). The applicable regulation is 29 CFR Part 1926 (Federal OSHA Construction Standards).

Is a written safety plan legally required for roofing contractors in Pennsylvania?

While Pennsylvania follows federal OSHA's general duty clause (Section 5(a)(1)), having a written safety program is considered best practice and is required by most general contractors during prequalification. OSHA can cite employers without a written program.

What are the OSHA fine amounts in Pennsylvania?

In Pennsylvania, serious OSHA violations carry fines up to $16,550 per violation. Willful or repeat violations can reach $165,514 per violation. Failure to abate a cited hazard adds up to $16,550 per day.

What documents do roofing contractors typically need for prequalification?

Most general contractors and owners (ISNetworld, Avetta, Browz, Procore) require: (1) Written Safety Program (IIPP or HASP), (2) OSHA 300 Log for prior 3 years, (3) Experience Modification Rate (EMR) below 1.0, (4) Proof of worker's comp and liability insurance, and (5) Competent Person certifications for applicable trades.
