8. ERECTION OF STEEL
8.1 Hazard
Steel Erection workers are exposed to hazards which may lead to accidents and
injuries. The injuries may result from protruding rebar, the premature removal of
steel rod, the inadvertent operation of equipment, the demolition/repair of steel
structures, and the failure to guard reinforcing steel.
8.2 Safety Precaution
For safety reasons there are precautions that need to be taken during erection.
IMCO will take all necessary measures to protect personnel from these hazards
and carry out the work in accordance with the relevant Client Engineering and
Construction standards. The measures shall include but not be limited to the
following:
 Make daily check on all lifting equipment.

 Make daily checks on all lifting slings, check for fraying and kinking.
 Check that all access equipment is in good condition, including scaffolding and
ladders.
 Check weather conditions, strong winds are dangerous during erection and
sheeting.
 Check for overhead electric lines before moving in with a crane.
 Check that all erectors have the correct personal safety equipment, hard hats,
boots, safety harness etc.
 Check electric cables for hand tools, discard frayed or split cables.
 Ensure that materials are correctly stored.
 Ensure that there are sufficient guy wires on site for temporary bracing.

ISSUE DATE:
 Ensure that erection always starts at a braced bay.

 Ensure that permanent bracing and flange stays are installed as work
proceeds.

 Tie down sheeting once the bundle is opened.
 Sweep roof sheeting at the end of each days work, drill swarf will corrode the
panels if not removed.
 When walking on the roof, step in the valleys of the panels, not the ribs.

produce poor quality work.
 Finally, take out Contractors All Risk Insurance, even the best can have an
accident!

steel is not erected.
 Columns must be tied-in at the end of each shift.
 Employees must use ladders, scaffolds, or stairs for climbing to elevated aerial lifts
to elevate.
 Tools in bolt bag/tool bag must be secured to the structure. All buckets must be
removed from beams at the end of each workday. Loose bolts, nuts and washers
will not be allowed.
 During the placing of structural members, at least 2 bolts or 25 percent of bolts per
connection (whichever is most) must be secured (drawn up wrench-tight) prior to
releasing the load from the hoisting line.
 Softeners must be used on all lashing lines used to plumb up structures.
 Temporary wire rope handrails will be erected in accordance with the engineered
drawings in the Fall Prevention/Protection Procedure.
 Bolts and small items will be put in a bolt bag to be lifted by hand. Throwing bolts
will not be allowed.
 Standing on spud wrenches is not allowed.
 Fall protection equipment must be inspected daily by employees using the

 Bolt bag/tool bag may be shackled above the headache ball.
 When erecting spandrel beams, the connection must be secured at both ends with
two bolts, and tightened with a spud wrench before conning the beam.

ISSUE DATE:
 Bolt-up employees must raise and lower impact wrenches with a rope. Impact
wrenches should be relocated whenever feasible by lowering them to the ground
then lifting them back up at the new location. Employees must avoid physically
carrying impact tools to a new location.
 Cords, leads, and hoses must be kept out of walkways.
