What is SENRAC?The Steel Erection Negotiated Rulemaking Advisory Committee (SENRAC) consists of representatives of employers and employees that will be significantly affected by the proposed rule covering steel erection in construction.
The Committee began negotiations in June of 1994.
Purpose of SENRACPurpose of SENRAC
The committee's purpose is to;- resolve issues
- arrive at a consensus, and - develop a proposed rule
governing steel erection.
ParticipationParticipationAppointees to the Committee include representatives from labor, industry, public interests and government agencies.
Many interested parties have attended the public meetings and have participated in the workgroups established by SENRAC.

Exception to working under loads: riggers making initial attachmentssecuring load
Two connectors were erecting lightweight steel "I" beams on the third floor of a 12-story building, 54 feet above the ground. One employee removed a choker sling from a beam and then attempted to place the sling onto a lower empty hook on a series of stringers. While the crawler tower crane was booming away from the steel, the wind moved the load line and stringer into the beam the employee was standing on. The beam moved while the employee was trying to disengage the hook, and fell to his death.

• (a) Structural stability shall be maintained at all times during the erection process– (1) The permanent floors shall be installed as the erection of structural
members progresses, and there shall be not more than eight stories between the erection floor and the upper-most permanent floor, except where the structural integrity is maintained as a result of the design.
– (2) At no time shall there be more than four floors or 48 feet (14.6 m), whichever is less, of unfinished bolting or welding above the foundation or uppermost permanently secured floor, except where the structural integrity is maintained as a result of the design.
– (3) A fully planked or decked floor or nets shall be maintained within 2 stories or 30 feet (9.1 m), whichever is less, directly under any erection work being performed.

An employee was assigned to connect the X-braces at the end of 40-foot long bar joists. Only one end of the bar joist he was working on had been welded. The employee was sitting on the unwelded end of the bar joist trying to connect the X-braces. He lost his balance, dislodging the bar joist from its end support, and fell approximately 24 feet to his death.
Steel Erection Operation
Five iron workers were distributing 90-foot-long open web bar joists on a building under construction. The bar joists were supported by vertical columns spaced 30 feet apart. The steel columns were not framed in at least two directions and the bar joists were not field bolted to the vertical columns to prevent collapse. The bar joists shifted, causing the vertical columns to lean. This caused entire section of columns and pen web bar joists to collapse. Two employees rode the iron down. One was fatally injured and one received serious injuries.
