Five Year Plan:

1. Priority 1 – Immediate (must be done; leaks, life safety etc.).
   1. Do not let any personnel or visitors access to the roof without proper fall protection training and equipment.
2. Priority 2 – Short Term (should be done within the next year or two).
   1. Maintenance on both skylights with above listed recommendations.
3. Priority 3 – Long term (within 5 years or more).
   1. Re-inspect every five years.
