Position and install fabricated steel structures

This standard is about positioning and installing fabricated steel structures to specification in the engineering construction industry.

You will need to be able to position and install plating *and *related plant, equipment and systems to the required standard whilst adhering to health safety and environmental legislation, regulations and safe working practices.

In the context of this standard, your responsibility is to interpret and work within given specifications, selecting techniques and making variations to achieve the best possible result. In some cases, you may still be expected to refer to others for final authorisation, even though you remain responsible for identifying and implementing decisions.

This standard is for

This standard is for Platers.

1. work safely at all times, comply with health and
   safety, environmental and other relevant legislation, regulations, guidelines
   and local rules or procedures
2. ensure that the work
   environment, material, tools and equipment are
   correctly prepared for the work activities to be undertaken
3. follow the
   relevant engineering drawings, specifications and quality standards 
4. ensure
   appropriate temporary support systems are put in place for the task
   in hand
5. position, install and secure the fabricated steel structures and
   respective components in their correct positions in accordance with the
   specification and instructions
6. ensure foreign
   material exclusion procedures are carried out 
7. ensure all
   necessary connections to the fabricated steel structures are complete 
8. ensure that all
   relevant fabricated steel structures, equipment and systems are free from
   damage 
9. ensure that the fabricated steel structures are protected from the
   environment and potential damage 
10. check the fabricated
    steel structures are complete and to the required specification, then follow
    the required handover procedures
11. reinstate
    the work area
