Hialeah, Florida 33010
APPROVED LADDERS AT JOB SITE
Notice to all Contractors and/or Home Owners: As a precautionary measure, the City of Hialeah Building Department shall enforce the use
of proper OSHA approved ladders at all job sites for all inspections with NO EXCEPTIONS. A fine of $120.00 will be issued to any Contractor
and/or Home Owner for any non-compliant ladder at time of inspection. Please follow OSHA Safety and Health Regulations for Construction
Standards 1926.1053.
Use a ladder that can sustain at least four times the
max
imum intended load. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions and labels on the ladder. To determine the
correct ladder, consider your weight plus the weight of your
load. Do not exceed the load rating and always include the
weight of all tools, materials and equipment.
Ladders should be visually inspected befor
e use for any
defects such a
s: missing rungs, bolts, cleats, screws and
loose components. Where a ladder has these or other
defects, it must be immediately marked as defective or
tagged with “Do Not Use” or similar language.
Allow sufficient room to step off the ladder safely. Keep t
he
area around the bottom and the top of the ladder clear of
equipment, materials and to
ols.
Set the ladder at the proper angle. When a ladder is lean
ed
against a
wall, the bottom of the ladder should be one-
quarter of the ladder’s working length away from the wall.
For access to an elevated work surface, extend the top of
the ladder three feet above that surface.
Set the base o
f the ladder so that the bottom sits securely
and so both side rails are evenly supporte
d. The ladder
rails should be square to the structure against which it is
leaning with both footpads placed securely on a stable and
level surface.
When using a ladder in a high-activity area
, secure it to
prevent movement and use a barrier to re
direct workers
and equipment. If a ladder is placed in front of a door,
always block off door.
PROVIDE
the Right Extension Ladder
for the Job with the Proper Load Capacity.
Select a ladder based on the expected load capacity
(duty rating), the type of work to be done and the
correct height. There are four categories of ladder duty
ratings.
Type Duty Rating Use Load
IAA Speciaty Duty Rugged 375 lbs.
IA Extra Duty Industrial 300 lbs.
I Heavy Duty Industrial 250lbs.
II Speciaty Duty Commercial 225 lbs.

Rev. 10.9.14
Section 1524
High Velocity Hurricane Zones-Required Owners Notification for Roofing Considerations
1524.1 Scope. As it pertains to this section, it is the responsibility of the roofing contractor to provide the owner with the
required roofing permit, and to explain to the owner the content of this section. The provisions of Chapter 15 of the
Florida Building Code, Building govern the minimum requirements and standards of the industry for roofing system
installations. Additionally, the following items should be addressed as part of the agreement between the owner and the
contractor. The owner’s initial in the designated space indicates that the item has been explained.
1. Aesthetics-workmanship: The workmanship provisions of Chapter 15 (High Velocity Hurricane Zone)
are for the purpose of providing that the roofing system meets the wind resistance and water intrusion
performance standards. Aesthetics (appearance) are not a consideration with respect to workmanship
provisions. Aesthetic issues such as color or architectural appearance, that are not part of a zoning code,
should be addressed as part of the agreement between the owner and the contractor.
2. Renailing wood decks: When replacing roofing, the existing wood roof deck may have to be renailed in
accordance with the current provisions of Chapter 16 (High Velocity Hurricane Zones) of the Florida
Building Code. (The roof deck is usually concealed prior to removing the existing roof system).
3. Common roofs: Common roofs are those which have no visible delineation between neighboring units
(i.e. townhouses, condominiums, etc.). In buildings with common roofs, the roofing contractor and/or
owner should notify the occupants of adjacent units of roofing work to be performed.
4. Exposed ceilings: Exposed, open beam ceilings are where the underside of the roof decking can be
viewed from below. The owner may wish to maintain the architectural appearance; therefore, roofing
nail penetrations of the underside of the decking may not be acceptable. The owner provides the option
of maintaining this appearance.
5. Ponding water: The current roof system and/or deck of the building may not drain well and may cause
water to pond (accumulate) in low-lying areas of the roof. Ponding can be an indication of structural
distress and may require the review of a professional structural engineer. Ponding may shorten the life
expectancy and performance of the new roofing system. Ponding conditions may not be evident until the
original roofing system is removed. Ponding conditions should be corrected.
6. Overflow scuppers (wall outlets): It is required that rainwater flow off so that the roof is not
overloaded from a buildup of water. Perimeter/edge walls or other roof extensions may block this
discharge if overflow scuppers (wall outlets) are not provided. It may be necessary to install overflow
scuppers in accordance with the requirements of: Chapter 15 and 16 herein and the Florida Building
Code, Plumbing.
7. Ventilation: Most roof structures should have some ability to vent natural airflow through the interior of
the structural assembly (the building itself). The existing amount of attic ventilation shall not be reduced.
Exemption: Attic spaces, designed by a Florida-licensed engineer or registered architect to eliminate the
attic venting, venting shall not be required.
