SAFETY MUST ALWAYS BE TOP PRIORlTY WHEN PERFORMlNG MAINTENANCE ON YOUR ROOF SYSTEM ALWAYS USE ALL FALL PROTECTION AND PERSONAL SAFETY EQUIPMENT REQUIRED BY OSHA AND OTHER REGULATORY AGENCIES.
Page 144
The New & Improved ALok-16 Roof Systems Maintenance & Warranty Info PROTEcT yOuR ROOf INVESTMENT Always consult the roof manufacturer before initiating repair work. The manufacturer can give you helpful information as to how to make the repair and can give you a list of “Certified Installers” in your area that you can contact about performing the repair work. Foot Traffic Keep foot traffic to a minimum. Heavy foot traffic can cause panel ponding areas on lower pitched roofs. This is particularly true just upslope from the eave and at end-laps. Always walk in the flat of the panel near a supporting roof structural. Do not walk on trim or in gutters. On bare Galvalume roofs, excessive foot traffic may cause black burnish marks. If regular foot traffic is planned for a roof, provisions should be made for a properly designed and installed roof walkway system.
