Introduction

28.1.1 This part emphasizes the importance of carrying out all constructional operations in a safe and
efficient manner. Workers, in large number, both skilled and unskilled, are engaged in the
innumerable construction works. Due to increased tempo of such a building activity and large
scale mechanization, hazards of accidents have increased considerably. It has, therefore,
become imperative that adequate safety rules are laid down for every phase of construction
work.
28.1.2 Planning the various constructional operations before hand and making adequate
arrangements for procurement and storage of materials, and the machinery to get work done
is as important as carrying out these constructional operations in accordance with good
practice. Lack of planning or defective planning may result in avoidable delay in the
completion of work and consequently increased hazards from the point of view of fire, health
and structural soundness.
28.1.3 Information regarding handling operations that is unloading stacking, lifting, loading and
conveying of building materials, has also been given now along with the storage practices.
28.1.4 Additional information regarding the use of ladders; safety requirements for floor and wall
openings, railings and toe boards; piling and other deep foundations; constructions involving
use of hot bituminous materials; and erection of structural steel work and concrete framed
structures, etc, has been given.

29.0.0 ADDITIONAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR ERECTION OF STRUCTURAL STEEL
WORK
29.1.0 SAFETY ORGANIZATION:
The agency responsible for erecting the steel work should analyze the proposed erection
scheme for safety; the erection scheme should cover safety aspects right from the planning
stage up to the actual execution of the work.
29.2.0 SAFETY OF MEN:
29.2.1 GENERAL -While engaging men for the job, the supervisor should check up and make sure
that they are skilled in the particular job they have to perform.
29.2.2 The helmets shall be worn properly and at all times during the work and shall conform to the
accepted standards.
29.2.3 The safety goggles shall be used while performing duties which are hazardous to eye like
drilling, cutting and welding. The goggles used shall conform to the accepted standards and
should suit individual workers.

safety boots, aprons and hand shields. The filter glass of the hand shield shall conform to the
accepted standards and should be suitable to the eyes of the particular worker.
29.2.5 When the work is in progress, the area shall be cordoned off by barricades to prevent persons
from hitting against structural components, or falling into excavated trenches or getting injured
by falling objects.
29.2.6 Warning signs shall be displayed where necessary to indicate hazards, for example
(a) '440 VOLTS',
(b) 'DO NOT SMOKE',
(c) 'MEN WORKING AHEAD', etc.
Hand lamps shall be of low voltage preferably 24 V prevent electrical hazards.
29.2.7 All electrically operated hand tools shall be provided with double earthing.
29.2.8 Anchors for guys or ties shall be checked for proper placement. The weight of concrete in
which the anchors are embedded shall be decked for uplift and sliding.
29.2.9 Split-end eye anchors shall only be used in good, solid rock.
29.2.10 The first load lifted by a guy derrick shall be kept at a small height for about 10 minutes and
the anchors immediately inspected for any signs or indications of fall
29.2.11 When a number of trusses or deep girders is loaded in one car or on me truck, all but one
being lifted shall be tied back unless they have been tied or braced to prevent their falling over
and endangering men unloading.
29.2.12 The erection gang shall have adequate supply of bolts. washers, rivets, pins, etc, of the
correct size. Enough number of bolts shall be used in connecting each piece using a minimum
of two bolts in a pattern to ensure that the joint will not fail due to dead load and erection
loads. All splice connections in columns, me girders, etc, shall be completely bolted or riveted
or welded as specified in the drawing before erection.
29.2.13 Girders and other heavy complicated structural members may require special erection devices
like cleats end hooks, which can be shop assembled and bolted or riveted or welded to the
piece and may be left permanently in the place after the work.
29.2.14 If a piece is Laterally unstable when picked at its centre, use of a balance beam is advisable,

18

and unless a pair of bridles slings can be placed far enough apart for them to be safe lifting
points. The top flange of a truss, girder or long beam may be temporarily reinforced with a
structural member laid flat on top of the member and secured temporarily.
29.2.15 On deep girders, and even on some trusses, a safety 'bar' running their full length ill aid the
riggers, fitters and others employed on the bottom Range or bottom chord to work with greater
safely. This can be a single 18 mm diameter wire rope through vertical stiffeners of such
members about one meter above the bottom flange and clamped at the ends with wire rope
clamps. If the holes cannot be provided, short eye bolts can be welded to the webs of the
girder at intervals to be removed and the surface chipped or ground to leave it smooth after all
work on the piece has been completed.
29.2.16 Safety belts shall always be available at work sport to be used whenever necessary. The rope
shall be chemically treated to resist dew and rotting. These shall not be tied on sharp edges of
steel structures. They shall be tied generally not more than 2 to 3 m away from the belt.
29.2.17 On a guy derrick or climbing crane job, the tool boxes used by the reaction staff shall be
moved to the new working floor each time the rig is changed. On a mobile crane job, the
boxes shall be moved as soon as the crane starts operating in a new area too far away for the
men to reach the boxes conveniently. While working a tall and heavy guy derrick, it is
advisable to control tension in guys by hand winches to avoid jerks, which may cause an
accident.
29.2.18 The proper size, number and spacing of wire rope clamps shall be used, depending on the
diameter of the wire rope. They shall be properly fixed in accordance with codes of good
practice. They shall be checked as soon as the rope has been stretched, as the rope
especially if new, tends to stretch under the applied load, which in turn may cause it to shrink
slightly in diameter. The damps shall them be promptly tightened to take care of this new
condition. In addition, the clamps shall be inspected frequently to be sure-that they have not
slipped and are tight enough.
29.2.19 When the men can work safely from the steel structure itself, this is preferable to hanging
platforms or scaffolds, as it eliminates additional operations, which in turn, reduces the hazard
of an accident.
29.2.20 To aid men working on floats or scaffolds, as well as men in erection gangs, or other gangs
using small material, such as bolts and drift pins, adequate bolt baskets or similar containers
with handles of sufficient strength and attachment to carry the loaded containers, shall be
provided.
29.2.21 The men should be trained to use such containers, and to keep small tolls gathered up and
put away in tool boxes when not in use. Material shall not be dumped overboard when a
scaffold is to be moved. Rivet heaters shall have sage containers or buckets for hot rivets over
at the end of day.
29.2.22 During the erection of tall buildings, it is desirable to use nylon nets at a height of 3 to 4 m to
provide safety to men.
29.3.0 SAFETY AGAINST FIRE:
29.3.1 A fire protection procedure is to be set up if there is to be any flame cutting, burning, heating,
riveting or any operation that could start a fire. For precautions to be observed during welding
and cutting operations, reference may be made to good practice.
29.3.2 The workers should be instructed not to throw objects like hot rivets, cigarette stubs, etc,
around.
29.3.3 Sufficient fire extinguishers, preferably, of soda acid type shall be placed at strategic points.
Extinguishers shall always be placed in cranes, hoists, compressors and similar places.
