Basics of Shoring Safety Tips
Always comply with all local, municipal, state, and federal regulations regarding shelter systems.
Before installing the support system, an expert should inspect the entire area where workers use the shingles to identify and adequately address potential hazards.
A qualified person should plan the installation of the shelter system. Then, take the drawings and paste them on the page.
Carefully inspect all materials, equipment, and tools used in the shelter system before installation. Do not use components or equipment that are defective. Instead, remove it from the area and mark it as damage to replace and repair it.
Pay close attention to all clothing materials and equipment.
