SAFETY SAFETY FIRST. ALWAYS. Safety is the primary consideration on every roofing project and is the responsibility of every roofing contractor. This section discusses several areas of safety, fall protection, use of ladders, safety data sheets, personal protective equipment, insurance and other safety considerations. TAMKO has adopted something called ZISC, which stands for Zero Incident Safety Culture. • ZERO – No incident, accident or injury is acceptable. • INCIDENT – An event that results in a near miss, a person getting injured, or property being damaged. • SAFETY – The condition of being safe; free from danger, risk, or injury. • CULTURE – The environment created based on what you believe, and how you act. Consider adopting a similar methodology in your own business to always keep your employees and customers safe. Of course, always be sure to follow all OSHA regulations and recommendations.

Estimating How much roofing and accessories are required? The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association’s publication, “Asphalt Roofing Residential Manual,” contains a section on “Estimating How Much Roofing Is Required” (The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association [ARMA], Residential Asphalt Roofing Manual [Washington, D.C.: ARMA, 2022] pg. 32–40) that provides a guide to estimating roof area on simple and complex roofing projects and determining the roof slope. This information is included in the pages of this chapter. Various types of asphalt roofing materials and accessories are required for completing a typical roofing job, including shingles or roll roofing, underlayment, starter strips, drip edges, valley flashings and hip and ridge shingles. Before the job begins, estimates of the required quantities of each material, based on calculations derived from the dimensions of the roof, must be made. In addition to measuring the roof yourself, there are many tools that are available to give you accurate roof measurements without ever stepping foot on a roof. TAMKO Certified Contractors can use RoofSnap and EagleView at a discounted rate.
