Document Summary

This document outlines safe work procedures for steel framing, focusing on handling, cutting, fastening, and site safety. Workers are instructed to follow manufacturer installation guides, use cut-resistant gloves, and adhere to correct manual handling practices when working with sharp-edged steel sections. Storage areas must be dry, clear of walkways, and organized to prevent spills or obstructions.

Operational guidelines include using enclosed areas for cutting to manage noise, flying particles, and fire risks. Suitable platforms and guardrails are required for work above floor level. Electrical safety measures include using protected circuits, avoiding cable damage, and deburring drilled holes to prevent insulation issues. Proper PPE, such as hearing, eye, and hand protection, must be worn during all tasks, and adherence to these procedures ensures safety and efficiency in steel framing projects.
