Trainers' Instructor Guides for:

• Connectors
• Controlled Decking Zones 
• Fall Hazards
• Multiple Lift Rigging

These guides are provided to assist in training ironworkers in the latest OSHA requirements, as well as providing overall safety awareness. Used in conjunction with SEAA's Steel Erection Training Modules, they should be very helpful. Instructor’s Guides are Bilingual.

Draft Compliance Directive #1 - the original interpretation and potential enforcement guide from OSHA.

Draft Compliance Directive # 2 - the latest interpretation and potential enforcement guide from OSHA.

Editor's Note: Read BOTH Compliance Directives and compare them - you'll see that OSHA's interpretation of the rule is still unclear in many ways, but these documents do give you some additional insight into what will be expected out in the field, along with some decent photos in each document.

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.

Module: Handling Structural Steel
Available in: VHS or DVD
Program Length: /38 minutes
Available: English or Spanish
Bilingual Instructor’s Guide
SEAA Item#: HSS

The “Handling Structural Steel” training module is available in VHS or DVD format in either English or Spanish language. Depending on the chosen format the program length is 26 to 28 minutes.
This program features a comprehensive look at step-by-step instructions of transporting steel from the manufacturer to the job site. This training module is accompanied by a Bilingual Instructor’s Guide with step-by-step instructions to aid the classroom instructor with a Pre-planning Checklist, Discussion Topics, and Knowledge Check. OSHA requires proof of the fact that employees have been trained in basic safety rules and procedures. This programs gives employers with validation of training in basic safety awareness information as required by law.

This safety program covers important segments including personal protection equipment, unloading and sorting steel, plus rigging hardware, slings and “making the lift”. Understanding how all three must work together for a safe job. The program takes an in-depth look at safely transporting steel to the job site, tips and important points of lining up the individual pieces so code marks can be easily seen and using proper dunnage and blocking are part of the discussion. Engage conversation of class attendees to make sure they comprehend exactly what “proper blocking is”. During the segment of rigging, discuss the different sling types and how and when they should be used. Stressing the importance of properly rigging a load and how using the wrong rigging equipment can be unsafe.
