Working to provide a safe working environment

Wheeling Corrugating Company’s mission is to provide a safe and healthy working environment. We emphasize the importance of safety through regular communication with all employees regarding their and the company’s responsibilities for the safety of themselves and others. In addition, we are concerned about the safety of our customers.

Extremely Important :

Store steel panels in a dry place. Stand them on end and fan out at the bottom to provide positive air circulation and moisture run-off. If panels must be stacked, they should be kept off the ground on wooden blocks or strips in an inclined position in a dry place.

The panels should be stored outside only when it is absolutely necessary and then only for short periods of time. The use of canvas or waterproof paper should be used only when allowing for ventilation. Plastic tarping, which may cause sweating and condensation and trap moisture, should never be used.

If these precautions are not taken and moisture is trapped in the panel, superficial staining may occur. When moisture remains in the bundle of panels for a considerable time, wet-storage stains can occur, reducing the effective life of the panel.

Failure to comply with the above recommended procedures relieves Wheeling Corrugating Company of responsibility for any resultant damage to, or deterioration of, its panels and voids all warranties. Be sure to comply with all OSHA regulations.

CAUTION: Sheet metal roofing can have sharp edges. Safety equipment should be worn by workers.

CAUTION: Do not leave unattended or unattached sheets on a roof.
