Bans all jobs in roofing operations including work performed on the ground

and

All work performed on or about a roof (in close proximity)

    Prohibited: Minors under age 18 may not:

    • Remove an old roof when done in preparation for the installation of a new roof or measure a roof to estimate the cost of a new roof
    • Perform work in connection with the application of weatherproofing materials and substances to roofs of buildings or other structures
    • Perform work in connection with installation of roofs, alterations, additions, maintenance and repair including painting and coating of existing roofs, and work performed on the ground

    As of February 14, 2005, minors under 18 years of age may not perform work that requires them to be on roofs, be in close proximity to a roof, or use a roof to access a work place.

    The term on or about a roof includes all work performed upon or in close proximity to a roof, including carpentry and metal work, alterations, additions, maintenance and repair, including painting and coating of existing roofs; the construction of the sheathing or base of roofs (wood or metal), including roof trusses or joists; gutter and downspout work; the installation and servicing of television and communication equipment such as cable and satellite dishes; the installation and servicing of heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment or similar appliances attached to roofs; and any similar work that is required to be performed on or about roofs.

    This prohibition is not limited to circumstances where the minor employee is standing or working on the roof itself but extends to standing or working on a ladder or scaffold at or near the roof, as well as working from or being transported to or from the roof in mechanical devices such as hoists.

    Youth less than 18 years of age may not use roofs to access equipment or other work places and are prohibited from performing tasks associated with the installation of roofs on metal buildings.
