Why this matters

Framing crews work with saws, nail guns, and heavy walls, often at the edge of an unfinished floor.

What to cover

  1. Brace every wall as it goes up.
  2. Protect edges and openings before you work.
  3. Follow nail gun safety rules.
  4. Use guards on saws and keep the work clamped.
  5. Share heavy lifts and clear the route.
  6. Keep the floor free of offcuts.

Ask the crew

  • What's the bracing plan for this wall?
  • Where's the edge protection?
  • Who calls the lift?

One thing to do today

Check the bracing and edge protection on the current level.
