PREFACE

How to Use This Manual

To The Em#'o"er

The purpose of this safety manual is to establish standards for an industry-specic safety pro!ram for establishments co"ered under the followin!#tandard $ndustry Classication %#$C code&' ()*(+ #tructural #teel Erection, This safety pro!ram has been de"eloped by the Florida i"ision of #afety with"oluntary input from Florida employers+ wor.ers/ compensation insurancecarriers+ labor or!ani0ations+ trade associations+ and other industry leaders,

This manual is intended to ser"e as the basis for an employer inte!ratedsafety and health mana!ement pro!ram, $mplementation of this safety

pro!ram satises the re1uirements of the i"ision of #afety, The essentialelements of this pro!ram include' top mana!ement/s commitment andin"ol"ement2 the establishment and operation of safety committees2pro"isions for safety and health trainin!2 rst aid procedures2 accidentin"esti!ations2 record.eepin! of in3uries2 and wor.place safety rules+ policies+and procedures,

$f this manual meets the needs of your establishment+ it may be used e4actlyas written, $f you ha"e pre"iously established and are maintainin! a safetypro!ram+ you can continue to use your pro!ram pro"ided that the essentialelements co"ered in this safety pro!ram are also addressed in your pro!ram,

Use of all or part of this manual does not relie"e employers of theirresponsibility to comply with other applicable local+ state or federal laws, $naddition+ if an employer maintains the 5#HA 677 8o! to meet federalre1uirements+ then that will meet the lo! and summary re1uirements of the8E# #AF 677 form in #ection 9$ of this pro!ram,

$t is intended that this manual be enhanced and continuously impro"ed by theemployer, Any section of this manual may be modied by the employer toaccommodate actual operations and wor. practices+ pro"ided that the ori!inalintent of that section is not lost, For e4ample+ if a safety committee meetswee.ly or 1uarterly instead of monthly+ then #ection $$ of the manual should

be amended to accommodate this practice, $f there is a safety rule+ policy+ orprocedure appropriate for the wor. or wor. en"ironment which has not beenincluded+ or if a rule included in #ection 9$$ is inappropriately written+ then anew safety rule+ policy+ or procedure should be added to impro"e the manual,8i.ewise+ if a specic rule in the #afety Rules+ Policies+ and Procedures section



iii

does not apply because the e1uipment or wor. operation described is notused+ then that specic rule should be crossed out or deleted from themanual, $f accidents occur+ new safety rules should be de"eloped andincorporated in #ection 9$$ of this manual to pre"ent their recurrence,
