Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) General. This appendix serves as a guideline to
						assist employers who elect to develop a site-specific erection plan in
						accordance with Section
						1710(c)(5) with
						alternate means and methods to provide employee protection in accordance with
						Sections 1710(c)(5),
						1710(d)(9),

						prepared by a civil engineer as required by Section
						1709(d) when
						trusses or beams over 25 feet long are used.
(b) Development of a site-specific erection plan.
						Pre-construction conference(s) and site inspection(s) are held between the
						erector and the controlling contractor, and others such as the project engineer
						and fabricator before the start of steel erection. The purpose of such
						conference(s) is to develop and review the site-specific erection plan that
						will meet the requirements of this section.
(c) Components of a site-specific erection plan. In
						developing a site-specific erection plan, a steel erector considers the
						following elements:
(1) The sequence of erection activity, developed in
						coordination with the controlling contractor, that includes the
						following:
(A) Material deliveries:
(B) Material staging and storage; and
(C) Coordination with other trades and construction
						activities.

						procedures, including the following:

						repair, replacement and modifications;
(D) Columns and beams (including joists and

						comply with Section
						1710(j).
(6) A description of the special procedures required for
						hazardous non-routine tasks.
(7) A certification for each employee who has received
						training for performing steel erection operations as required by Section
						1710(q).
(8) A list of the qualified and competent persons.
(9) A description of the procedures that will be utilized
						in the event of rescue or emergency response.
(d) Other plan information. The plan:
