On January 18, 2001, OSHA published a final safety standard for steel erection, effective July 18, 2001. The rule includes provisions for structural components to ensure safe erection, such as requirements for shear connectors, anchor bolts, and column splices. It also mandates safety measures like perimeter columns for safety cables and specific joist strength for safe hoisting. These provisions are designed to protect workers during steel structure assembly.
