The Detailing Guide for the Enhancement of Erection Safety was developed by industry experts, for the steel erection industry! The growing trends towards “Design-Build and “Fast-Track” methods of today’s construction have made it more important that ever, that the alliance between members of the steel industry become even more concentrated. The intent of these “erector friendly” is to permit detailers and erectors together to better provide structures that are safer, timely and more erectable; promoting the use of structural steel as the material of choice.

Endorsed by the Steel Erectors Association of America and [SEAA], and the National Institute of Steel Detailing [NISD], the Detailing Guide is widely accepted and used by industry members as an invaluable tool for detailing firms, steel erectors, fabricators, and any other firms that employ people to prepare and review structural steel shop drawings. The manual features 50 ready-to-use pictorial drawings, with suggested concepts, hints and illustrations of erection aids which have been based on OSHA [29 CFR 1926.750 through 761] 2002 steel erection standard and the combined experience of SEAA and NISD members. None of the information presented in this guide is meant to supersede project-specific contracts.

Readers are encouraged to refer to the AISC Code of Standard Practice, the AISC Erector Certification Program, the NISD Industry Standard publication and the AISA “New OSHA Rules Advisory” for additional resources. Also, the NISD Guidelines For The Successful Presentation of Steel Design Documents and the AISC publication Working With Structural Steel In Schedule Driven Projects will provide valuable insight. In all cases the role and responsibility of the design engineer of record is paramount to the proper utilization and approval of the actual use of any information contained herein.
This publication has been prepared for general information only. While it is believed to be accurate, this information should not be used or relied upon for any specific application without competent professional examination and verification of its accuracy, suitability and applicability by a licensed professional engineer, designer, or architect.
