The National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) has partnered with insurers and vendors that serve the industry to promote fall protection best practices, accountability and new equipment. Between 2005 and 2010, ongoing training seminars, webinars, and other efforts helped deaease industry falls by a remarkable 69 percent. 

OSHA s directive already survived a legal challenge by the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA). The directive withdrew an earlier one that allowed certain residential construction employers to bypass some fall protection requirements. The dispute centered on the new rule s elimination of slide guards or roof brackets as an acceptable means of fall protection.
