1. In order to avoid damage, ladders against or into eaves' gutters should be clear of the gutters and then securely anchored. It is dangerous to rest a ladder against a verge owing to the uneven line of support and its greater susceptibility to damage.
2. Materials or tools required should be carried up and not drawn or dragged over the roof. Materials stacked on the roof should not overload the battens, undertile membrane or roof structure, and should preferably be placed on the rafter lines.
3. Care should be taken when walking on the roof. It is bad practice to walk up the valleys and hips. When walking on the tiles always step on the bottom middle of the tile.
