Why this matters

Steel erection combines heights, heavy loads, and temporary structures.

What to cover

  1. Follow the erection plan and the sequence.
  2. Plan fall protection and anchors before the crew goes up.
  3. Use rated rigging and tag lines.
  4. Keep people out from under the load.
  5. Don't release a load until the member is secured.
  6. Secure tools and bolts so they can't fall.

Ask the crew

  • Where do connectors tie off?
  • Who gives signals?
  • What's the drop zone?

One thing to do today

Review the erection plan and the drop zone with the crew.
