Building Erection Stability – The Next Level of Construction Safety, Presented by Walter P. Moore
There has been substantial focus on safety within the construction industry, with positive results, but usually with a focus on employee safety related to personal protective equipment, e.g., safety glasses, hard hats, proper shoes, gloves, safety harnesses, etc. This session will focus on the stability of structures during erection which some consider to be the next level of construction safety. Contractors should have the same emphasis on erection stability as there is on personal protective equipment. Examples will be shown of how simple missteps during erection caused major structural failures resulting in serious injury and loss of life.
