Operate equipment for its intended use only and in accordance with manufacturerʼs
printed instructions.
Prior to the use of equipment, thoroughly inspect for wear and damage. Perform
maintenance as required by manufacturer.
While operating equipment be aware of perimeters, openings and obstructions in the
work area.
When refueling, eliminate sources of ignition, shut engine off and clean up spills before
restarting engine.
Report hazardous conditions and/or equipment deficiencies to supervisor immediately.
Do not perform any work or use tools or equipment while under the influence of drugs or
other substances that impair or affect your judgment or ability.
Be aware of pending weather conditions and always use reasonable care and caution in
all efforts.
Clean up debris and dispose of or locate to collection points and cover with a tarp.
Collect all unused materials and place on pallets located over substantial structural load
bearing points. Stand roll goods on end if practical and stack Lumber, plywood, sheet
metal and other similar items or other panel type materials flat and square.
Gather equipment to a single collection point and secure with a rope or chain to avoid
theft or damage.
Cover all moisture sensitive materials, equipment and tools using a tarp. Take care to
allow for proper air circulation beneath the covering to avoid condensation damage.
Adequately secure the covering with rope, twine or banding to prevent loss
due to high winds.
Carefully inspect all temporary seals for voids or damage and repair/replace as
necessary.
If possible, finish all work at drains including securing the clamping ring permanently.
Make certain all containers have lids or seals. Replace and secure to prevent leaks,
spills or contamination of contents.
Inspect the site for potential fire hazards. Bitumen mops can self-ignite long after the
site has been evacuated and should be stored well away from combustibles. If torches
were used, check for sign of smoke escaping at flashings, penetrations and particularly
cant strips. Some localities require a fire watch to remain on site for a couple hours after
the job is shut down for the day - check local codes.
