5Indiana Effective Dates
6Indiana Register, Volume 25, Number 4, January 1,
2002INDIANA DEPARTMENT OF LABORNOTICE OF
CHANGES INENFORCEMENT OF STEEL ERECTION
REGULATIONSThe federal Occupational Safety and
Health Administration, effective January 18,
2002, has revised the steel erectionregulations
contained in 29 CFR 1926, Subpart R. Effective 60
days after January 18, 2002, on March 19, 2002,
the IndianaDepartment of Labor will be enforcing
those regulations in Indiana.A number of
provisions in the final rule, 29 CFR 1926,
Subpart R, address the safety of certain
structural components and theseprovisions are
known as component requirements. Component
requirements contain requirements for structural
components to help ensure that the structure can
be erected safely
7Component RequirementsThe new effective date,
March 19, 2001, for the steel erection standards
contained in 1926 Subpart R will be applied to
thecomponent requirements in the following
manner(1) Where a building permit was obtained
before the final rule was published on January
18, 2001, the component requirementslisted above
will not apply to the work project.(2) If the
steel erection work in question began on or
before November 15, 2001, the component
requirements of the final rule,listed above,
will not be applied.
8("component requirements") Contain requirements
for these components to help ensure that the
structure can be erected safely. For example,
there are provisions that prohibit shear
connectors on members before they are erected (
1926.754(c)(1)(i)) require all columns to be
anchored by a minimum of 4 anchor bolts, which
must meet specified strength requirements (
1926.755(a)) (there is a comparable requirement
for systems-engineered metal buildings,
1926.758(b)) set requirements for double
connections ( 1926.756(c)(1)) (there is a
comparable requirement for systems-engineered
metal buildings 1926.758(e)) require column
splices to be at a specified height and meet a
strength requirement ( 1926.756(d)) require
perimeter columns to have holes or other devices
for perimeter safety cables ( 1926.756(e)) in
some instances require a vertical stabilizer
plate to stabilize steel joists (
1926.757(a)(1)(i)) require certain joists to be
strong enough to allow one employee to release
the hoisting cable without the need for erection
bridging ( 1926.757(a)(3)), and require certain
joists to be fabricated to allow for field
bolting during erection ( 1926.757(a)(8)(i)).
