Roofing Nails

roofing nails coming through ceiling? is this safe and up to code?
My contractor are using 3″ nails to cover my roof with S tiles, but some of the nails are going through the roof and exposed inside the ceiling more than 1″. This is a concern for me because if I send someone inside the attic to work or if I go myself, isn’t it like a mine field of nails waiting for my head to get hit and explode(this incident happen on another job site before and had to rush him to the hospital).
My questions is that they are using the correct nail, but would this be up to code for city inspection if they see some nails spread through out the attic with exposed nails that are more than 1″ inside the attic??? Alhambra, CA
Good roofing practice suggests that nails penetrate the roof material by at least 1/2″ up to 1″. So, this is perfectly normal.
Were the nails not to penetrate, you would have no way of knowing whether they are long-enough.
