Steel Erection Safety (Subpart R)

Intermediate · Course MIG-CON-107

The 15-foot trigger height, connectors and controlled decking zones, the concrete-strength letter that gates the whole job, column anchorage, multiple lift rigging, and why steel erection has its own fall protection rules.

This is a Migna Safety Solutions course with a Migna certificate of completion. It is not OSHA Outreach Training and does not include a Department of Labor card.

Steel erection is the one construction activity with its own fall protection regime. Everywhere else in Part 1926 the trigger is six feet; in Subpart R it is fifteen, and there are two narrow exceptions above that which exist nowhere else in construction. Getting this wrong in either direction — applying six feet to steel, or applying the steel rules to work that is not steel erection — is a common and consequential error. This course covers what Subpart R reaches; the written notification of concrete strength that must arrive before anyone begins; site layout, access and the site-specific erection plan; hoisting and rigging, including the pre-shift crane inspection and the multiple lift rigging procedure; structural stability, column anchorage and the four-anchor-rod rule; beams, columns, open web steel joists and systems-engineered metal buildings; falling object protection; the 15-foot fall protection trigger and the connector and controlled decking zone exceptions between 15 and 30 feet; custody of fall protection; and the training requirements in 1926.761, including the three special training programs. Issues a Migna certificate of completion.

Seat time is enforced on our servers. The clock is calculated from signed progress events rather than in your browser, so it cannot be sped up — a certificate that states 22 minutes of training means it. The 33 minutes shown above is that gate plus the quizzes and final exam, which are not on the clock.

This certificate does not expire on a clock

The standard behind this course sets no fixed retraining interval, so we do not print one. Retraining is triggered by events instead — a new hazard, a changed process, or an observed deficiency. Your employer or insurer may set their own interval, which is a real obligation but not a federal one.

What You Will Be Able To Do

The course is built to reach these, and the quizzes are written to confirm them.

  • State the site conditions a controlling contractor must certify before steel erection begins
  • Describe the structural stability requirements, including anchor bolts, column splices and beam connections
  • State the height at which Subpart R requires fall protection and the provisions that apply to connectors and controlled decking zones
  • Identify the hazards of hoisting and landing steel and the practices that control them
