I do understand the nature of your query as you have been bitten or a friend. Here in The Villages, all liability lands on us as we are 22 million liability just on entry to driveway…So yes, fully liable. We have been here for two decades, so feel free to contact us to discuss maybe before you point a finger on regulations (FL 2025) that we follow very closely.

Thank you neighbor.
The nature of my query, is why roofing companies (& other contractors) in The Villages, believe they're not subject to the same federal safety standards, as I and other large commercial contractors are.

I'd be happy to post photos and video of your crew doing a roofing job, without fall protection.

Feel free to check the OSHA Regulations which are Federal and apply to Florida:
