ASSE Construction & Demolition Operations (A10) standards address the protection of employees and the public from hazards arising out of or associated with construction and demolition operations.
The American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) publishes ANSI/ASSE A10.13-2011 Safety Requirements for Steel Erection for companies and craftspeople to erect steel structures and metal deck in a safe and effective manner. Safety Requirements for Steel Erection focuses on pre-planning and planning safe erection methods, in order to prevent near-misses, incidents, injuries, and fatalities on the construction site.
ANSI/ASSE A10.13-2011 Safety Requirements for Steel Erection is a part of ASSE Construction & Demolition Operations (A10), “…standards related to the protection of employees and the public from hazards arising out of or associated with construction and demolition operations.” ASSE Construction & Demolition Operations (A10) also includes American National Standards Institute (ANSI) documents.
Further, A10.13 warns of safety risks when erecting steel structures and metal deck. Fall protection is the greatest safety challenge, as precipitation type events, such as rain, snow, sleet, hail, mixed, and frost events, can make walking and working surfaces slippery. Wind, wind gust, thunderstorm, and lightning events also pose safety risks when erecting steel structures and metal deck.
Safety Requirements for Steel Erection mandates the use of proper equipment and personnel safety protection systems, issued and used by trained and skilled craftspeople with safe behaviors. In summary, ASSE promotes continuous improvement processes (CIP) and ever evolving standards for safe erection of steel structures and metal deck by educating all craftspeople, by utilizing better equipment, and by adopting new technology.
