Steps
Fetch osha.gov's hazard alert PDF, 'Falls and Other Hazards to Workers Removing Snow from Rooftops and Other Elevated Surfaces' (OSHA-3513)
Confirm OSHA's top recommendation is avoiding rooftop work altogether where possible via ground-based or remote snow-removal methods
Include the specific hazards OSHA lists: falls from roof edges, falls through skylights, falls from aerial lifts/ladders, and roof-collapse risk
Cross-reference the separate, broader OSHA publication 'Snow Removal: Know the Hazards' (OSHA-3966) for plowing/shoveling hazards if the scope includes ground crews too
Frame the checklist as planning-first (assess loads, limit exposure) rather than PPE-first
Known gotchas
OSHA-3513 explicitly prioritizes eliminating rooftop exposure over protecting workers who go on the roof — a checklist that jumps straight to harnesses/PPE without addressing avoidance misses OSHA's primary message
OSHA-3513 (roof-specific) and OSHA-3966 (general snow removal) are two separate publications covering different hazard sets — don't cite one when the task is actually about the other
These are hazard-alert guidance documents, not enforceable standards on their own — actual OSHA citations for snow-removal incidents typically come under the general duty clause or fall-protection standards, which should be verified separately if compliance exposure is the question
