Safety Disclaimer

Field cards do not equal permission.

This site is designed to make an apprentice safer by helping them pause, verify, and ask better questions. It is not a replacement for training, supervision, engineered details, safety plans, or approved job documents.

Stop-work / verify zones

  • Fire, smoke, combination fire/smoke dampers, and rated assemblies
  • Grease duct, kitchen exhaust, special exhaust, and cleanout/access requirements
  • Seismic bracing, structural anchors, beam clamps, inserts, embeds, core drilling, and penetrations
  • Crane picks, rigging, signal work, equipment setting, roof edges, and fall exposure
  • Electrical controls, startup, lockout/tagout, gas, refrigerant, and live equipment

Authority chain

Follow this order when there is a conflict: immediate safety direction, employer safety policy, project drawings/specs, approved submittals, manufacturer installation instructions, governing code/AHJ, and foreman or qualified-person direction. TinnerFlow sits underneath all of those.

What TinnerFlow can do

It can help you identify the problem, gather measurements, document the condition, understand what might be risky, and ask your foreman a cleaner question with possible routes.

What TinnerFlow cannot do

It cannot inspect your job, approve your installation, sign off a rated assembly, calculate engineered support, certify rigging, replace a manufacturer manual, or override the AHJ.

Best jobsite use

Use the cards to slow down: take photos, get the grid/room/elevation, verify the drawing revision, measure twice, compare to the submittal, and bring your foreman a clear A/B/C decision instead of guessing.

Emergency rule

If there is an immediate hazard, stop work, move to a safe location, warn nearby workers if safe to do so, and follow your employer’s emergency and site-safety procedure.
