-== SBS Application and Safety: Best Practices ==
+==Section 1.1. SBS Application and Safety: Best Practices ==
 Modified bitumen roofing membranes represent the latest in the evolution of bituminous roofing systems.  However, some systems require that applicators use a propane-fuelled open flame torch to adhere the membrane.  When working with an open flame on the construction site, applicators must use extreme caution to prevent accidents.  Carelessness could lead to loss of property or life.
@@ Line 20: / Line 24: @@
 This section contains precautions for applying modified bitumen roofing.  The applicator will find proper procedures for working with equipment on the jobsite, and dealing with personnel.<b>NOTE:  If a fire occurs for any reason, call the fire department immediately, even if you put out the flames.  Some material may smoulder for hours before bursting into flames, and could be smouldering in places where the layman may not think to look.   Let the fire fighters do their job.  Safety is no accident.</b>
-=== EQUIPMENT ===
+===1.1.1. EQUIPMENT ===
 Applicators use an open flame to soften the bitumen on the underside of the membrane to make it adhere to the roofing substrate.  At a temperature of 1100<sup>o</sup>C (2000<sup>o</sup>F), the flame produced by liquid propane gas does an excellent melting job.  But used incorrectly or carelessly, the flame could damage the roof or the building and seriously injure the applicator.

 All applicators of modified bitumen should participate in the safety and training program.

-=== BUILDINGS ===
+=== 1.1.2. BUILDINGS ===
 Each building is different from every other building, and each roof design presents a new set of challenges to the roofing contractor.  The applicator of modified bitumen systems must adapt his standard safety procedures to meet the special requirements of the current job.  However, roofers should follow the basic rules presented in these pages.
@@ Line 97: / Line 101: @@
 Applicators must take special care when torching at flashings, corners, or voids in the roof deck.  Never torch directly at these locations.  Always use self adhered or cold applied materials at these fire sensitive locations.
-==== General ====
+====1.1.2.1. General ====
 * Use protective shielding when using torch application near any upstands.
 * Shut down air conditioning units, exhaust fans and air intake fans in the work area at the roof control.  This must be coordinated with the owner or building maintenance staff.
 * Do not work in an enclosed area where gas can accumulate.
-==== Substrates ====
+====1.1.2.2. Substrates ====
 * Use perlite, fibreglass, or concrete cant strips if cant strips are required.
 * Use a protective base sheet on all wood decks and over ignitable insulation, can strips or other flammable surfaces.
@@ Line 111: / Line 115: @@
 * Do not torch to wood fibre insulation, cant strip, wood or any ignitable material.

 * Use a small torch when flashing near details.
@@ Line 131: / Line 135: @@
 * Do not lay an operating torch on an open penetration on the roof.  If the penetration is part of an air intake system, the flames could be sucked into the building.
-=== PERSONNEL ===
+===1.1.3. PERSONNEL ===
 Many construction-industry tradesman use open flames or flame tools in their jobs.  Heating and air conditioning contractors, welders and plumbers all use open flame at the job site.  These professionals are responsible for the safe use of their tools, just as the roofing contractor is responsible for the safe application of modified bitumen roofing systems.
@@ Line 138: / Line 142: @@
 Some of the safety precautions will be considered unpleasant, such as wearing long-sleeve shirts and long pants in the summer, but the results &#8211; a safe, injury-free job site &#8211; are worth the effort.
-==== General ====
+====1.1.3.1. General ====
 * Wear proper clothing: non-synthetic fabrics, long-sleeve shirt, long pants, boots, gloves and proper eye protection.
 * Keep non-applicators at least 3 m (10' ) from open flame.
@@ Line 145: / Line 149: @@
 * Do not take anything for granted.  Be on guard against lapses in on-the-job safety.
-=== FIRE DEPARTMENT ===
+===1.1.4. FIRE DEPARTMENT ===
 For years fire departments have been learning the proper safety precautions necessary to prevent fires. Their expertise and assistance should be utilized whenever possible to supplement a company's safety training program.  By making the local fire department a part of your team, you are giving notice that in all cases Safety Comes First.
-==== Fire Department Recommendations ====
+====1.1.4.1. Fire Department Recommendations ====
 * Strict compliance with local fire codes must be maintained.
 * Give written notice to the local fire department where required, and obtain any necessary permits.
