- Watch the ceiling and surrounding area for any falling debris, dust, water or other potential hazards.
- Ensure customers and store employees do not enter designated restricted or construction areas.
- Politely redirect pedestrian/customer traffic around work zones when required.
- Monitor barricades, caution tape and restricted-access areas to ensure they remain in place.
- Maintain regular communication with the roofing foreman/site contact.
- Immediately notify the designated site contact if debris falls or an unsafe condition is observed.
- Follow the established procedure for requesting that overhead work be stopped if an immediate hazard is identified.
- Maintain a straightforward written log of activities, observations and incidents during the shift.




- Document the time and details of any unusual occurrence or safety concern.
- Take photographs for documentation when requested and permitted.
- Communicate professionally and courteously with customers, employees, management and contractors.
- Remain alert and attentive throughout the assigned shift.
- Follow all site-specific safety procedures and instructions.

- Security guard experience or licence is an asset but is not a requirement for this position, provided the duties assigned do not require a security guard licence.

Important This position does not involve performing roofing or construction work.
