I am reading the March issue of Concrete Construction from Hanley Wood. There's a good article by Allen Face on rules to live by when on a job...
Now he was discussing concrete flatwork so his language is specific to that trade, but with a couple small changes, it can be applied to any trade.
I took one of his rules and as it to fits waterproofing or any trade without changing a thing, I quote from Allen Face "Rule 6d: Never accept any demand that requires you to abandon your better judgment, unless it is in writing and unless it relieves you of all liability for any adverse consequences."
See the rest of Allen's rules and fit them to apply to your trade, you'll be better off for it. CLICK HERE TO READ

HUNDREDS HOMELESS DUE TO FIRE ON BALCONY THAT DESTROY'S CALGARY CONDO COMPLEX
Massive blaze in Calgary leaves hundreds homeless
Firefighter injured in condominum inferno
CALGARY — Hundreds of people are homeless after a massive fire destroyed much of a four-story condominium complex in southwest Calgary.
The blaze at a 159-unit building on Millrise Drive, sent massive, dark grey clouds of smoke into the sky Thursday.
One firefighter was injured and taken to Rockyview Hospital, where he was in stable condition.
Deputy Fire Chief Len McCharles said the fire appears to have started on a balcony and when crews arrived about 12:15 p.m., it had spread into two suites, crawling its way up into the attic space where it quickly spread.
McCharles said it's too early to tell the extent of the damage, which appeared to be mainly confined to the top floor, noting water damage to some suites untouched by fire may be extensive.
