SAFETY FIRST

It is urgently recommended that the safe working conditions and accident prevention practices be the top priority on the job site and that local, state and federal safety and health standards always be followed to help insure worker safety. These points cannot be stressed too strongly.

Jobsite safety is a joint responsibility of all parties present on the jobsite, including owners, architects, engineers, contractors, subcontractors, delivery personnel, and employees of all the above, among others. All should be watchful to avoid hazards which might cause damage to property or injury to any person, including themselves.

Always make certain all employees know the safest and most productive way of erecting a building along with emergency telephone numbers, location of first aid stations and emergency procedures. Avoid working during inclement weather periods when personnel are at risk due to high winds, lightning, precipitations, etc. Manufacturer recommends daily meeting highlighting safety procedures, the use of hard hats, rubber sole shoes for roof work, proper equipment for handling material and appropriate safety gear, including nets where necessary.

This manual should be interpreted and administered with sound judgment consistent with good safety practices. Its information is to be disseminated to all workers on the jobsite. Where any doubt exists as to language or direction of this manual, do not take a risk, “play it safe”.
