SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
♦
Never use unsecured or partially installed panels as a working platform.
Do not walk on panels
until they are in place on the roof and all of the fasteners have been installed.
♦
Metal roofing panels are slippery when wet, dusty, frosty, or oily.
Do not attempt to walk on a
metal roof under these conditions. Wear soft-soled shoes to improve traction and minimize damage to the
paint finish.
♦
Always be aware of your position on the roof relative to your surroundings.
Take note of the
locations of roof openings, roof edges, equipment, co-workers, etc.
♦
Always wear proper clothing and safety attire.
Wear proper clothing when working with sheet metal
in order to minimize the potential for cuts, abrasions and other injuries. Eye protection and gloves are a must
when working with sheet metal products. Hearing protection should be used when power-cutting metal
panels.
♦
Use care when operating electrical and other power equipment.
Observe all manufacturer
’
s safety
recommendations.
♦
Roof installation on windy days can be dangerous.
Avoid working with sheet metal products on
windy days.
DELIVERY, HANDLING & STORAGE
♦
Always inspect the shipment upon delivery. Inspect for damage and verify material quantities against the
shipping list. Note any damaged material or shortages at the time of delivery.
♦
Handle panel bundles and individual panels with care to avoid damage. Longer bundles and panels may
require two or more “pick points” properly spaced to avoid damage that can result from buckling and/or
bending of the panels.
♦
Store the panels and other materials in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from traffic. Elevate one end of the
bundle so that any moisture that may have accumulated during shipping can run off. Be sure that air will be
able to circulate freely around the bundles to avoid the build-up of moisture. Never store materials in direct
contact with the ground.
♦
Wear clean, non-marking, soft soled shoes when walking on the panels to avoid shoe marks or damage to the
finish. Step only in the flat area of the panels.
