<strong>ERECTION</strong> <strong>AND</strong> <strong>SAFETY</strong> <strong>MANUAL</strong><br />
The vehicle transporting your building parts must gain access to the building site from the adjacent highway<br />
or road. Such access should be studied and prepared in advance of arrival. All obstructions, overhead and<br />
otherwise, must be removed and the access route graveled or planked if the soil will not sustain the heavy<br />
wheel loads.<br />
Inspect to insure that there is enough room to physically perform the tasks required to erect the building.<br />
Application of sheeting and trim can be expensive when there is not suffi cient working space because of the<br />
proximity of adjacent buildings or other obstructions.<br />
The availability of any required utilities should also be considered in advance. Take careful note of any overhead<br />
electric lines or other utilities to avoid hazards and damage (Notify your utility company when necessary)<br />
Develop a comprehensive safety awareness program in advance to familiarize the work force with the unique<br />
conditions of the site, and the building materials, along with the appropriate “Safe Work’ practices that will be<br />
utilized.<br />
NOTE!<br />
Complete sets of erection drawings are furnished with every building.<br />
Each plan is specially prepared for each individual building and should be strictly adhered<br />
to. Familiarize yourself and crew with these drawings prior to start-up.<br />
2.2 UNLOADING OPERATIONS<br />
2.0 PRE-<strong>ERECTION</strong><br />
Pre- planning of the unloading operations is an important part of the erection procedure. This involves careful,<br />
safe and orderly storage of all materials. Detailed planning is required at the job site where storage space is<br />
restricted. Here, a planned separation of materials in the order of the erection process is necessary to minimize<br />
the costly double handling of materials. While set procedures are not possible in all cases, special attention<br />
should be given to the following items.<br />
