Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Division Division 3 ## Appendix A to Subpart R - Guidelines for Establishing the Components of a Site-specific Erection Plan: Non-mandatory Guidelines for Complying with 1926.752(e) - (a) General. This appendix serves as a guideline to assist employers who elect to develop a site-specific erection plan in accordance with 1926.752(e) with alternate means and methods to provide employee protection in accordance with 1926.752(e), 1926.753(c)(5), 1926.757(a)(4) and 1926.757(e)(4). - (b) Development of a site-specific erection plan. Pre-construction conference(s) and site inspection(s) are held between the erector and the controlling contractor, and others such as the project engineer and fabricator before the start of steel erection. The purpose of such conference(s) is to develop and review the sitespecific erection plan that will meet the requirements of this section. - (c) Components of a site-specific erection plan. In developing a site-specific erection plan, a steel erector considers the following elements: - (1) The sequence of erection activity, developed in coordination with the controlling contractor, that includes the following: - (i) Material deliveries: - (ii) Material staging and storage; and - (iii) Coordination with other trades and construction activities. - (2) A description of the crane and derrick selection and placement procedures, including the following: - (i) Site preparation; - (ii) Path for overhead loads; and - (iii) Critical lifts, including rigging supplies and equipment. - (3) A description of steel erection activities and procedures, including the following: - (i) Stability considerations requiring temporary bracing and guying; - (ii) Erection bridging terminus point; - (iii) Anchor rod (anchor bolt) notifications regarding repair, replacement and modifications; - (iv) Columns and beams (including joists and purlins);
