There is also the Canadian Sheet Steel Building Institute and the US Steel Deck Institute that may have additional information.

AWS D1.3 Structrual welding code - Sheet Steel will cover the issues for welding roof decking and qualifying welders. The use of sheet metal screws is usually covered in job specs and manufacturer's specs.
RE: welding roof decking
The second load case to consider is that of net wind uplift on the decking. Here you will need to consult either SDI, Manufacturer's catalogs, AWS or the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) Cold Formed Steel Design Manual to determine the demand in uplift.
Attached are a few links to the appropriate web sites:
SDI Publications: http://www.sdi.org/manuals.htm
Vulcraft Deck Catalog (good resource): http://www.vulcraft.com/catreq/deckcat.pdf
