It depends a lot on the roof slope. Even a 4/12 pitch roof is treacherous; anything steeper is suicidal without proper equipment. I wouldn't want to get on a steep steel roof without a safety harness and proper arresting gear.
The surface needs to be clean and dry. My brother used to put up steel buildings. These typically didn't have very steep roofs, but they usually had high sidewalls, 14 or 16 feet. One day they'd been unable to work on the roof all day because of high winds when the wind finally died down. They went on the roof with brooms to sweep off the sand that the wind had left; he had just started at the peak when he slipped on the sandy roof. He slid all the way to the eave and went over, falling in a pile of manure about 14 feet below. His ankle basically went through the bottom of his foot. He had a very long recovery and the surgeon had to fuse his ankle. He broke that ankle a second time a few years later, which prompted him to get out of the business.
