| | Safety Standards for Steel Erection - 66:5317-5325 |
 | | This revision clarifies that steel erection is covered exclusively by subpart R. In addition, since tanks and towers are excluded from the scope of subpart R, this final rule adds paragraph § 1926.500(a)(2)(iv) to subpart M to clarify that fall protection requirements for tanks and communication and broadcast towers are covered by § 1926.105. |
 | | Erection bridging refers to bridging that must be installed during the erection process, and becomes a permanent part of the structure. |
 | | The final rule defines steel erection (in § 1926.751) as "the construction, alteration or repair of steel buildings, bridges and other structures, including the installation of metal decking and all planking used during the process of erection." In the proposed rule, steel erection was defined as "the erection of" these structures. |
