Generally, the contractor will walk on purlins but if roofing is installed, the roof installer will not be able to see the purlins and if there is a roofing boltless system it is not possible for the roof installer to identify the purlin’s position. Therefore, roof installers must be very careful in every step (Boltless systems such as KS KlipFix39, etc. and, Seaming systems such as KS TripleSeam65, KS CozySeam Sandwich Panel, etc.)

Roof installers should wear soft smooth soft-soled, and avoid ribbed soles that pick up and hold small stones swarf and other objects. The roof installer must walk parallel to the ribs of the roofing because it will be perpendicular to the purlins, roof installer must avoid walking on the skylight, rib of the roof, crimp-curved roof and side-lapping because it can cause serious damage including effect to the ability for the strength and performance of roofing sheet too.
