<strong>ERECTION</strong> <strong>AND</strong> <strong>SAFETY</strong> <strong>MANUAL</strong><br />
After the columns have been erected, the ground assembled rafter is hoisted into place and connected to<br />
the columns. The size of the rafter which can be safely handled depends on the equipment available and the<br />
experience of the erection foreman. Generally as many connections as possible are made on the ground.<br />
FLANGE BRACES<br />
LOOSE BOLTED<br />
The fl ange brace should be bolted to the rafter prior to raising in order to save time. The hoisting equipment<br />
should never be released from the rafter until the frame is adequately braced, so it cannot buckle or tip in the<br />
longitudinal direction of the building.<br />
NOTE:<br />
Stay well in the clear of loads being moved by any type of lifting equipment. Safety fi rst!<br />
