Introduction to Steel Erection Safety Training

Construction workers sustain the most fatal injuries of any industry. Among construction jobs, steel and iron workers have the second-highest risk for injury, behind only roofers. Injury and fatality rates have been steadily declining thanks to increased safety regulations and compliance. Many of these injuries can be prevented by design, and others can be prevented by proper training with regard to fall protection and equipment use.

The goal of this course is to help you understand the risks involved in working steel erection jobs. We will review some common hazards and the ways in which these vary in different environments and job stages, design decisions that can help prevent and isolate these hazards, and practices that will reduce the likelihood of injury. This course will include an overview of the national safety regulations that govern steel erection and the reasons why these regulations are in place.
