Notes: Avoid torch-applied roof coverings. If it is necessary to use a torch to repair an existing roof or install a new covering, require that a fire-watch with multiple fire extinguishers be immediately available on the roof. This is considered hot work. The owner should complete a hot work permit before the contractor commences his work.
