Job Forman Responsibilities

Prepared for Shannon Juranek

Handling and storing the new products

• Hauling the windows while laying flat will cause the glass to vibrate and will cause premature seal failure.•when it is warm, the framing will warp where it is not supported.•The windows and doors are designed to carry their own weight standing upright. •Hauling the glass vertically does not stress the seals in the thermal pane as much when transporting the units.•Units with blinds must be hauled upside down to protect the blind cords!

•By verifying that all product are here for the project before the job is started allows for a smoother and better quality installation, and generally saves more time than it takes to get organized on the job site.

NEVER HAUL OR STORE WINDOWS OR DOORS WITH THERMAL PANE GLASS LAYING FLAT!!!

Verify that all of the material for the job are in stock.

Proper handling is required for a quality product and installation.

Lead can affect children’s brains and developing nervous systems, causing reduced IQ, learning disabilities, and behavioral problems. Lead is also harmful to adults.

Beginning April 2010, federal law requires contractors that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities and schools, built before 1978 to be certified and follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination.

Step 1. Paint testing must be performed on all surfaces to be affected by the work, or you must presume the paint is lead-based.Step 2. If lead is present, containment procedures must be followed.

Step 3. Cleaning requirements must be met, checked by a certified professional and documented to meet the government regulations.Step 4. Lead contaminated waste and cleanup water must be disposed of safely.

Renovate using lead safe work practices.
