Inspection bulletins are a new innovation from the WAHA and are issued to provide guidance to inexperienced tradespeople and asset owners regarding tell-tale signs to look for when observing installations on roofs and other structures. They are bulletins of a general nature and not a warning about a specific product or manufacturer. They are intended to provide general advice that can be used to assess the further need to call in an installation company to provide a more formal assessment.
Inspection Bulletins will be issued on a needs basis and will be reviewed for content and relevance over time.
