Being up on a roof is dangerous. Falling can lead to serious safety violations and difficult customer issues, let alone severe injuries or even death to the contractor. Working amid this avoidable risk just doesn’t make sense, according to Doug. “When you’re up there and thinking about not falling, you might forget to run a measurement on a valley, and you have to go back. Or you might make an error transitioning a number, and it can throw off your material count.
“Getting off that roof is probably the single most important thing I appreciate about EagleView,” says Doug. “I haven’t measured a roof by hand in over eight years.” Doug goes on to add: “Anybody who has ever had any sort of safety violation or experienced a fall injury on their team – an injury to someone you care about – knows how important it is to keep people off the roof whenever possible.”
