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 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.

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 an unseamed panel. Provide walking platforms for crew members
required to walk on the roof before it is seamed.

Do not stand on the roof panel at the ends until the panel has been attached with fasteners.
