Steel the safe solution

Which are the three main hazards that occur during steel erection?

Moving large heavy components into position
The part-erected structure can be unstable
Erection is done on sites that are difficult to reach
Each project is different

Which two of these steps available during execution can most contribute towards making steel the safe solution?

Use of trial erection
Use of new cranes
Use of scaffolding
Use of the part-erected steelwork to gain access to subsequent working positions

Which two of the following statements are true?

Designers are not obliged to consider whether their schemes can be safely built
It is necessary to consider every conceivable scenario when planning for safe construction
The choice of building materials has a major influence on what is achievable in terms of safe construction
The benchmark of safe practice should be established by industry practitioners

How does BCSA provide information on the competence of its member companies?

In terms of categories of steelwork
In terms of the recommended maximum size of contracts to be resourced
In terms of the identities of each company’s directors
In terms of numbers of HSE prosecutions

Which of these items are the three important safety objectives that underpin the choice of erection methodology?

Choosing craneage to lift and place the steelwork
Maintaining the stability of the part-erected structure
Reducing the time taken for site operations
Providing safe access to working positions

When should steel erectors be allowed to climb on to the steelwork?

Never
Any time that an experienced erector decides
Only after a suitable method has been established in advance
Only whilst two safety lanyards are both attached, one to a MEWP and one to the steelwork

How can frame designers contribute most effectively to ensuring steelwork is erected safely?

By having a dialogue with those responsible for planning and undertaking the work on site
By a comprehensive series of notes on the drawings issued for construction
By designing to keep the weight of each steel member as low as possible
By specifying that steel erectors should never exit the basket of a MEWP at height

During frame design which three of the following issues will need resolving that affect the development of the design basis outline method of erection?

The stability concept for the part-erected structure including any requirements for temporary bracing or propping
Experience from any trial erection undertaken
Timing and method of grouting foundation connections
Use of profiled steel sheeting to provide lateral restraint

Which one of the following would be beyond the scope of competence to be expected of a typical steelwork contractor?

Erection on a city centre site
Drilling concrete
Using bonding adhesives
Erection on a contoured site

Structural frames built in which one of the following materials are easily adaptable in use and readily demountable as well as recyclable?

Concrete
Steel
Timber
Masonary
