The Question and Answer Board

Jimmie,

I know this is somewhat off topic, but in a lot of ways it's exactly what we have been discussing.

I am a commercial roofing installation inspector.

There are certain safety guidelines that the roofers are governed by, that have been mandated by OSHA or whatever regulatory agency.

It is not up to me to monitor them for safety violations, nor am I going to.

I once had a building inspector for the owner ask me, why are you allowing them to do that?

I replied that I was on the roof to insure the roof was installed according to contract documents, and that I was not responsible for reporting safety violations, and was not going to assume any responsibility.

Once I start directing the crew in safety, or start reporting violations, I assume that responsibility.

You guys are asking IHUB to do something they have repeatedly said they are not going to do and I don't blame them.

Phil
