There is no substitute for safety. Do not take short cuts. Always exercise extreme caution,
care and good judgment when working on or around a roof or pool area.
Take care to avoid hazards such as
overhead electrical wires
or
loose tiles
.
Do not allow
extension cords
to trail into the pool or other stagnated water.
Disconnect the
power supply
to the pool when installing an automatic control system.
When working on a steep roof, use a
safety rope
.
Be sure to
secure ladders
so they do not slip or fall.
Wear shoes with good tread to
avoid slipping
on the ladder or sloping roof areas.
Do not leave materials or equipment on a sloping roof
where they could fall off.
When working outdoors in warm weather keep yourself adequately
protected from the sun
and make sure to
drink regularly
