What this lesson covers
Steel erection has two gates: written approval before the first piece is set, and fall protection rules that change with height and with the job a worker does. This lesson covers who owes what to whom, the 15 foot and 30 foot thresholds, controlled decking zones and who controls fall protection afterward.
