Manufacturer strongly recommends that erection employees be continuously trained in safe and
productive work practices . Working on the roof area in the installation of roof structurals, insulation
or roof panels requires proper training, correct equipment and constant alertness to minimize the
danger of falls . Hard hats should be worn on job sites to prevent injury from falling objects . Safe
work practices on all erection duties should be carefully reviewed with erection crews prior to
beginning each job .
Roof panels must be completely attached to the purlins and to panels on either side before they
can be a safe walking surface .
skylights or translucent panels can never be considered as a
walking surface.
