Participating in the Certified Roofing Torch Applicator (CERTA) Program demonstrates you are committed to improving your personal safety and the safety of your co-workers. You also are elevating the professionalism of the entire roof- ing industry. This training program is designed to familiarize you with safety issues and concerns relating to the application of torch-applied roof systems and to directly affect your habits and behaviors during application. Torch-applied roof systems have been an important part of the roofing industry since the 1970s. Although safety concerns for torch-applied systems have been addressed in the past, personal injuries and property damage still occur. Whether for patchwork or installing a new roof system, most roofing workers use a torch at one time or another. However, many roofing workers have never received proper torch safety training. The results: Major fires, severe injuries and deaths have occurred because of careless roofing torch use. This manual cannot replace experience and should not be a substitute for a company’s written safety program. There also are state Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations and local fire and building code requirements that are unique to your area and may not be included in this program. This training program manual is designed to promote safety in the application of torch-applied roof systems. It is intended for use by anyone with an interest in these systems, from managers and supervisors to foremen and roofing workers. It is a culmina- tion of efforts by contractors, manufacturers, suppliers and others who are dedicated to promoting safety. Always keep in mind that roofing is what we do, and safely is how we do it! Purpose The purpose of the CERTA program is to provide roofing professionals with the necessary safety training to enhance profession- alism and reduce personal injuries and property losses caused by the use of roofing torches. ii 03/2020 Certified Roofing Torch Applicator Program—Torch-applied

Turner on the north side of Chicago, IL. Several years later, the company was purchased by Charles Reckitt, who made arrangements for Tuner Brass to relocate to Sycamore in the fall of 1906. The factory, located on the south side of Sycamore at 821 Park Avenue, was completed in the summer of 1907. The True Republican 1 (Nov. 28, 1906) reported that it was the first of its kind in terms of industry to appear in Sycamore. At the time, there were 230 workers employed in the factory. The company relocated to Sycamore for a bonus of $10,000. The company issued around 30 catalogues, including “Automobile Cycle and Power Boat Specialties,” “Foot and Pressure Pumps,” “Repair Parts for Electric Arc Lamps,” “Hardware Specialties,” “Brass Fixtures and Lantern,” “Gasoline Vapor Lamps,” “Machinery Name Plates,” “Gasoline Thermo-Light Outfit and Dental Appliances.” Their catalogues boasted that they were the “largest concern in the world manufacturing these goods.” The employees held a Reception and Ball and invited the people of Sycamore as their guests.
