4.9 WIND BRACING INSTALLATION<br />
Page 7.1-40<br />
Revision: 2<br />
August 2011<br />
<strong>ERECTION</strong> <strong>AND</strong> <strong>SAFETY</strong> <strong>MANUAL</strong><br />
Diagonal bracing in metal buildings is critical! They provide support for wind loads or other longitudinal<br />
loads, such as those created by an overhead crane in the completed structure. Many times additional<br />
temporary bracing is needed to stabilize the structure during erection. This requirement should be reviewed<br />
by the erector, and any additional bracing should be provided by the erector. On some smaller buildings,<br />
diagonal bracing is not needed for the building design, so any erection bracing needed must be furnished<br />
by the erector.<br />
NOTE:<br />
Workers should always use gloves when working on metal frames and sheeting. Always follow<br />
all OSHA safety recommendations. Safety fi rst!<br />
