In 2017 OSHA made a significant update to fixed ladder requirements in an effort to improve safety in the workplace. Prior to this change fixed ladders that extend more than 24' above a lower level shall be equipped with a personal fall arrest system, ladder safety system, cage, or well. With the new requirements in place any ladder erected after November 19, 2018 cages will no longer be an accepted form of fall protection. Further, as of November 19th, 2036 cages will no longer be accepted as a form a fall protection. I interpret this to mean that any applicable ladder used in industry will need to be retrofitted with a fall arrest system by that date. Even since this rule has been put in place we still see caged ladders specified in contract drawings fairly often. How do fellow detailers deal with this?

We're working on wrapping up a car dealership in the Midwest, what are you working on?

Here's a nice little addition we did last year. One of the many projects we've done in the Chicago area.

Miscellaneous Monday! Here are some interesting railings we did for a day care facility. Each picket is powder coated 1 of 4 different colors and randomly placed on the railings once they are set. #steel hashtag #steeldetailing hashtag #steelconstruction hashtag #steelindustry hashtag #steelstructures hashtag #sds2 hashtag #construction hashtag #constructionindustry hashtag #shopdrawings hashtag #bimmodeling hashtag #steelfabricator hashtag #steelfabricators hashtag #steelfabrication hashtag #steeldesign hashtag #aisc hashtag #blueprints

This week part of our team is wrapping up a 145,000 square foot cold storage facility.

Sometimes we get fun, unique projects. Not just a rolled stair, the challenging geometry of this stair includes non-concentric inner and outer stringers as well as varying radii in a single run. Unfortunately all of the steel on this one is going to be wrapped in drywall, so these may be the best "in action" shots we get. Have a challenging project that you would like us to quote?

From concept to reality! This Ironworkers Training Facility was a great job for our team and our customer! #sds2 #allplan #steeldetailing #steelfabrication #steelframing #steelstructures
