Inspection Bulletins
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.
The first inspection bulletin is being issued in December 2017 to coincide with the launch of the website. You can subscribe to receive Inspection Bulletins when they are released by registering in the ‘Subscribe’ section on this website. You do not have to be a member to subscribe and you can change your preferences any time you wish to no longer receive these bulletins.
