The installation of a new roof and the repair of old roofs is also contemplated by this classification.
In addition to the roof workers, this classification also applies to the employees working on the ground preparing the roofing materials, hoisting the materials, operating any machinery or acting as watchmen. This classification also includes the cleaning of chimneys or furnaces from the roof.
