By setting an additional scaffold board on edge in the gutter at the eaves and tying it to the rafter

By laying slates or tiles already stripped at the eaves to stop them

By setting an additional ladder in place and allowing them to slide onto the platform

No need to do anything – just slide them down and hope for the best

Rubbish can be thrown over the platform edge into the skip, and the roofer can carry the Slates or tiles down the ladder

Rubbish can be sent down a chute to the skip, and the slates or tiles can be lowered using a mechanical hoist or bumper

Rubbish can be thrown into the skip, and a forklift truck can be extended over the scaffold and loaded with the slates or tiles

Rubbish can be put into the skip anyway you can, and a mechanical hoist or bumper can be used to lower the slates or tiles

The chute should be set on the platform, allowing the rubbish to drop into the skip from any height

The chute should be tied to the platform edge and set at any height into the skip and level with platform edge

The cute should always be in line with the skip at any height to the platform and into the skip

Wooden sheets that can be nailed over as a temporary measure

Nothing, the roof can be covered in plenty of time with felt

Roof tarpaulins which will be held in place using roof slates or tiles

Roof tarpaulins with rope attachments

with the felt covering junctions by at least 300 mm and held down at laps by battens that are part nailed

with the felt covering junctions by at least 25 mm and held down at laps by battens that are fully nailed

with the felt covering junctions by at least 100 mm and held down at laps by battens that are part nailed

with the felt covering junctions by at least 300 mm and crossing nails only to hold it in place

Nail none of the battens, just lay them on the felt to hold it in place

Nail as many battens as you can to gauge, but miss courses so as to cover the area quickly

Nail all of the battens to gauge and just try to nail as much of the felt as you can

Nail battens wherever you can and get as many fixings into the felt as possible

On top of your head to all levels at all times so that your hands are free to hold the roof area or ladder on the way down

By hand or on the shoulder to the platform, then by hoist, bumper or forklift to the ground

By hand or on the shoulder to the platform, down the ladder on the shoulder to the ground

By shoulder only to both the platform and to the ground

On pallets, or off the ground on battens or ‘skids’, or boxed into crates on edge

Straight onto the platform or ground in any type of stack or pile

Piled up on pallets or in crates

On battens or ‘skids’ on edge only as crates, boxes or pallets will damage them

Very old and not even worth checking as it takes too long and it is easier just to throw them all away
