Folks can you assist?
I've recently come across two companies with similar work at height issues. Both erect timber buildings. The first erects timber farm buildings with a roof apex anywhere between 8' 6" and 10' off the ground. The other erects timber garden sheds on domestic premises.
Both operations necessitate employees working on the roof for short durations, and in both cases the site conditions can be very variable and often with little space around the building/shed being erected.
What do you think might be the most suitable control measures for the work at height hazard in this case as I'm struggling to identify anything very suitable?
Thanks for your help.

For these relatively low heights they can easily use a tower scaffolding or staging to work on. This is also quick to move around the job by the workmen themselves. If its putting agricultural size buildings often a MWEP is used instead of scaffolding.
For timber kit houses (ground floor, 1st floor and roof size is a bit higher and requires work fixing the walls on the first floor and roof). Best I have seen for these is a horse shoe shape scaffolding with an additional guardrail. The kit house is craned in through the missing side and then built up. The scaffolding is then in position for the facing brickwork and roof slates.
