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. Wearing soft-soled shoes will improve traction and minimize damage to the painted surface.

 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. When working on a roof,

fall protection is highly recommended. Follow all OSHA Safety Requirements.

 Use care when operating electrical and other power equipment. Observe all manufacturers’ 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. Check 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.
