      • No trade will park vehicles on the inside slab. If necessary to complete their scope of work, drop cloths will be placed under vehicles at all times.                  
      • No pipe cutting machine will be used on the concrete floor slab.                  
      • Steel will not be placed on slab to avoid rust staining.                  
      • Acids and acidic detergents will not come into contact with slab.                  
      • All trades informed that the slab must be protected at all times.
