style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">working on metal
roofs is difficult because you have no friction, working on a 12/12 is a close
to impossible as it can get. I like to use scaffold and of course safety
rail such that you are safe at the scaffold level. Scaffold needs to be
tied off or braced to prevent toppling when ou place a ladder on to it.
Even if you use a chicken ladder have a work platform underneath. the work
using harness if so difficult you use all your strength just staying
there. There are scaffold systems that are designed for latteral force
check with your supplier. I find that working off a JLG is difficult
also. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>

use every seam, to place clamps and use rails to tie the clamps to the
modules. I find that this is easier than the rail-less system.

will be installing multiple arrays on metal roofs at a local community college
and am wondering about tying off. Most of the work will be done off of
scaffold and JLGs, but there will be times I will have to access upper portions
of the roof. I am looking at two arrays that will be installed on standing
seam roofs both with a 12/12 pitch. <BR><BR>How have people been working
safely on roofs like this?<BR><BR><BR><BR>As always, I really appreciate all the
