  2. Workers of the past were sometimes referred to as “Dare Devils.”

  3. The recent past

  4. Working at height should not be a “dare devil” experience. An example of proper tie-off at a connection

  5. Negotiated Rule • Recognizing the dangers of the steel erection process, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, industry and labor organizations, engineers and fabricators negotiated a new Steel Erection Rule designed to protect employees from those hazards

  6. Negotiated Rule • OSHA's new rule is expected to prevent 30 fatalities and 1,142 injuries annually, and save employers nearly $40 million a year

  7. Negotiated Rule • The standard enhances protections provided to iron workers by addressing the hazards that have been identified as the major causes of injuries and fatalities in the steel erection industry.

  8. Negotiated Rule • These are hazards associated with working under loads; hoisting, landing and placing decking; column stability; double connections; landing and placing steel joists; and falls to lower levels
