Roof Traffic

Metal Tiles are classified as a Type B Restricted Access roof cladding. Walking on metal tiles indiscriminately may cause considerable damage.

Persons authorised to walk on a metal tile roof must walk only in the tile's pan, where the batten supports it, and wear flat, soft-soled shoes to prevent damage to the tiles and surface coatings.

Other trades must be made aware by the contractor or site supervisor of the method for walking on pressed metal tiles without causing damage, and that the cost of repairing damaged tiles is their responsibility.
