Why the new rules??

OSHA studies of 673 fatalities among
ironworkers highlighted common
hazards
Deaths were largely preventable by
engineering & regulatory changes

Controlling
contractor must
ensure that a suitable
space is provided for
storage of materials and
safe operation of
hoisting operations

All hoisting
operations must be
preplanned to ensure
all working under
loads requirements
are met

A site-specific erection
Example
plan may be developed to
provide alternate means
to protect employees

Hoisting & Rigging

The new section
( 296-155-704) and
296-155-525 & -526
Both apply to
hoisting and rigging

Hoisting & Rigging

Crane pre-shift visual inspection
must be visually inspected by a
competent person
rule gives inspection minimums
deficiencies must be evaluated
immediately
equipment posing a hazard must be
placed out of service
operator has authority to stop and
refuse any loads until safety is
assured

Hoisting & Rigging

Working under loads
Routes for
suspended loads
must be
preplanned to
avoid
endangering
workers
1
Hoisting & Rigging

When working under loads
materials must be rigged to prevent
unintentional displacement
hooks must have self-closing safety
latches or equivalent
all loads must be rigged by a qualified
rigger
2
Hoisting & Rigging

Multiple lift rigging procedure
only when:
a multiple lift rigging
assembly is used
specifically within
manufacturers specifications
& limitations
maximum of 5 members
hoisted per lift
only beams & similar
structural members are lifted
only trained employees
involved

Hoisting & Rigging

Bundles of decking
are NOT
appropriate for
multiple lift.
Even though metal
decking meets the
definition of structural
members
Hoisting & Rigging

Components of the multiple lift rigging
assembly must be specifically designed
and assembled with a maximum
capacity for total assembly and for
each individual attachment point.
Based on manufacturers specifications
with a 5 to 1 safety factor on all
components
2
Hoisting & Rigging

Total load must not exceed
rated capacity as specified in the
hoisting equipment load charts and
rigging capacity specified in the
rigging-rating charts
Hoisting & Rigging

Controlled load
lowering must be
used whenever the
load is over the
connectors

Structural Steel Assembly

Structural stability maintained at all times
during the erection process
Multistory structures
have permanent floors
installed as the
erection of structural
members progresses
Within 8 floors of the
concrete, or

Structural stability maintained at all times
during the erection process
Multistory structures have permanent

floors installed as the erection of structural
members progresses
Within 8 floors of the concrete, or
no more than 4 floors (or 48) of

unfinished bolting or welding above
secured floor
2

Walking/working surfaces
Elimination of
tripping hazards:
no shear connectors or
other similar devices
until after
walking/working
surface has been
installed.

Walking/working surfaces
After July 18, 2006: workers

prohibited from walking on surface of
structural steel coated with paint or
other coating not slip resistant

Plumbing up
When deemed necessary

by a competent person:
Plumbing up
equipment must be
installed in conjunction
with the steel erection
process to ensure
stability of the
structure.

Plumbing up
When necessary, plumbing up

equipment must be in place and
properly installed before the
structure is loaded with
construction material

Plumbing up
Plumbing up equipment must

be removed only with the
approval of a competent
person

Metal decking
Hoisting, landing &

placing of metal
decking bundles
provisions to prevent
displacement of
decking during
handling/storage

Metal decking
Decking gaps around

columns
where there are gaps
between columns, the
falling objects hazards
must be eliminated

Metal decking
During installation,
metal decking must
be laid tightly &
immediately secured
to prevent movement

Metal decking
During installation,
metal decking
panels must be
placed to ensure
full support by
structural members

decked or planked
& connections
completed

placed on derrick
floors must be
distributed over the
underlying support
to prevent local
overloading

Column anchorage
Insufficient column
anchorage is a
primary cause of
column failure and

to fatalities among
ironworkers!

Column anchorage
Erection Stability
All columns must

be anchored by a
minimum of four
anchor bolts
Column anchorage
Erection Stability
All columns must be

anchored by a minimum of
four anchor bolts

shim packs

Column anchorage
Erection Stability
All columns must be

evaluated by a competent
person to determine if
