Overview
Steel erection can be dangerous business. The close proximity of workers to heavy equipment, overhead lifts and potentially unstable structures, combined with working at heights pose significant risks to workers that must be managed by the project.
In July, 2004*, OSHA issued the latest revision of 29CFR1960.750 Subpart R "Steel Erection". This subpart sets forth requirements to protect employees from the hazards associated with steel erection activities involved in the construction, alteration, and/or repair of single and multi-story buildings, bridges, and other structures where steel erection occurs.
In this course, the student will review 29CFR1960.750 Subpart R "Steel Erection". This course is relevant to engineers involved in all areas of steel erection. This includes structural design engineers since Subpart R addresses design issues, such as structural steel framing and connection details.
The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty-four (24) questions at the end of the course to earn PDH credits.
*In January, 2006, OSHA revoked a provision within the Steel Erection Standard which addresses slip resistance of skeletal structural steel.
