SAFETY

STUDY APPLICABLE OSHA AND OTHER SAFETY REQUIREMENTS BEFORE

FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

The installation of metal roof systems is a dangerous procedure and should be supervised

by trained knowledgeable erectors. USE EXTREME CARE WHILE INSTALLING ROOF

AND WALL PANELS. It is not possible for Metal Sales to be aware of all the possible job

site situations that could cause an unsafe condition to exist. The erector of the roof system

is responsible for reading these instructions and determining the safest way to install the

roof system.

These instructions are provided only as a guide to show a knowledgeable, trained erector

the correct parts placement one to another. If following any of the installation steps would

endanger a worker, the erector should stop work and decide upon a corrective action.

Provide required safety railing, netting, or safety lines for crew members working on

the roof.

Do not use the roof panel as a walking platform. The roof panels will not withstand the

weight of a person standing at the edge of the panel.

Do not stand on any part of a roof panel until the panel has been completely attached.

The application and detail drawings in this manual are strictly for illustration purposes and may not be applicable

to all building designs or product installations. All projects should conform to applicable building codes for that par-

ticular area. It is recommended to follow all building regulations and standard industry practices.

Metal Sales Manufacturing Corporation is not responsible for the performance of the roof or wall system if it is not

installed in accordance with the suggested instructions referenced in this manual. If there is a conflict between this

manual and the approved Metal Sales' erection drawings, the approved erection drawings are to take precedence.

Prior to ordering and installing materials, all dimensions should be verified by field measurements.

Oil canning is not a cause for rejection. Oil canning can be described as the amount of waviness found in the flat

areas of metal panels. Oil canning is an inherent characteristic of light gauge cold formed metal products, particu-

larly those with broad flat areas. There are many factors which may contribute to oil canning that Metal Sales is not

able to control. These factors include: misalignment of the support system, over driving of fasteners used on the

panels, stress (whether inherent in the panel or induced), thermal expansion and contraction of the panel, material

handling, width, gauge, length, color of panels, and installation. (Reference Metal Construction Association "Oil

Canning Position Paper" - Appendix A).

Metal Sales reserves the right to modify, without notice, any details, recommendations or suggestions. Consult

Metal Sales for any additional information not outlined in this manual.

Metal Sales shall not be responsible for any damage and injuries incurred while handling and/or installing the panels,

trim, and accessories. On-site personnel shall follow the appropriate safety protocols as determined by the relevant

governing bodies.
