Occupied Building Re-Roofing in Memphis, TN requires a phased work plan approved by the building owner before mobilization. Each phase defines the open roof area for that work day, the temporary protection strategy if weather interrupts the schedule, the access route that avoids tenant entrances and parking areas, and the daily dry-in standard that must be met before the crew leaves the site. For occupied building re-roofing in Memphis, the dry-in requirement is non-negotiable: no open membrane section stays unprotected overnight.
OSHA 1926.502 fall protection requirements apply to every occupied building re-roofing project. Workers on low-slope roofs more than six feet above the lower level must be protected by guardrails, safety nets, or a personal fall arrest system. For occupied building re-roofing in Memphis, the fall protection plan also has to account for the people below: tenant notifications, sidewalk protection at eave edges, and daily housekeeping to prevent debris from becoming a pedestrian hazard are all part of the scope before a nail gun fires.
