Before allowing equipment and personnel access to roof, make certain roof is strong enough to support the weight. Check
load limits of deck with owner, builder or architect. Clear the work area of all potentially dangerous obstacles that could
cause personal injury to the operator or others. Keep unauthorized people away from construction area. Check to see that
all roof openings are guarded to protect against falls.
