Guidance

It is recommended that anyone preparing a specification should complete this checklist and if any boxes are ticked avoid the use of a direct torch-on application in these areas.

This guidance document is to promote Safe2Torch specification writing at the initial survey and design stage and a safe system of work when using propane gas torches for the application of roofing membranes and the drying of roof surfaces for all flat roofing applications.

Guidance for the safe installation of torch-on reinforced bitumen membranes and use of gas torches in the workplace.

The Safe2Torch visual checklist has been developed to help identify areas of risk before carrying out hot works.
