I'm thinking of getting into the trade but this really puts into perspective the danger comes with it

I’m just getting into it myself right now. The danger comes with it, but I’d rather work in a dangerous place while being excited to go to work, than work a perfectly safe job dying of boredom for 50 years. Good luck, man

@@colinmarr1089 before you got accepted as an apprentice did you have welding/construction experience? I'm trying out for local 417 tmrw,i climb trees and cut them down so no fear of heights. did well on mat. about to crush the physical test. but it seemed like they were looking for welders at orientation :/

[@colinmarr1089]

@@connorlowis4774 I had welding experience before I got hired. Although for you I think it would be worth while to talk to the local about getting yourself a welding ticket. Most have an inspector come in occasionally to do check tests and full ticket tests. Maybe they would let you in for one of those tests. But yeah, a welding ticket greatly helps. Good luck to you.

I don't know what that safety strap is called but it looks like it would sure as hell hurt if you fell off a beam. Damn, these guys earn their money. Props to all of the ironworkers out there. Nothing but respect. Don't worry, that Gatorade is in a better place now...RIP...

Im a steel erector (iron worker) in the UK,this is now banned all work now are in cherry pickers and man riders.Sometimes if last resort we have to walk on steel we have to get it signed off by management.Is it a good thing? My forefathers have hip and knee replacements from shimming up columns and walking steel so yes i think its better nowadays erecting steel just not as exciting!

So much for 100% tie off. You even had the second line and everything.

[@somedoorguy]

What type of boots you wearing brother?

[@pwhnckexstflajizdryvombqug9042]

Nowhere near as dangerous these days, they have safety harnesses and are tied on to something at all times. The good old days when you were held up by the weight of your balls were something else.

[@Critical_Stinking]

Harnesses come with their own set of problems too. They hinder movement and can get snagged on things. They're not 100% safe.

[@steelem422]

Dose someone else come after you and put the rest of the fasteners in and torque them ? You guys man I coukd probably get up there with you but would be too scared to climb down would have to live the rest of my life up there lol

[@Coltonm8994]

There are double rope safety things that insure one rope is secure the whole time. Might want to ask the boss for one

Yikes. How is it safe to work under the other pieces on the crane?

[@dawsonharris5735]

As safe as the operator makes it hahaha

[@mikerush3729]

Soooooo...... this is merely "hanging" the iron, and another group follows up with the complete bolting together then followed up by welding? I will assume you are hourly wage earners, how does the pay work when you can't work because of weather? Do they just drop you down to a lower hourly wage and keep you on the ground? Much respect to everyone in the trade, proud to say my dad was an iron worker in Canada in the late 50s and early 60s.

[@timekstrand653]

They're an erection aid. They get welded out after the fact.

[@johnj5726]

I’ve noticed you put on bolt in and tighten by hand. Does someone come behind and use an air gun to tighten even more? Much respect for the work you guys do.

[@tylerc3576]

You place one bolt, tighten by hand / wrench to hold it in place until the structure / base is setup. Then they add more bolts and tighten them all once its put together.

[@johnj5726]

Tyler Hill Thank you.

[@jakejones6652]

These guys in the video are connectors and they only put in one bolt to keep it safe, usually connecting beams you make two bolts but these joists aren’t heavy. Then there’s a gang called bolt up that follows after the connectors and and placed the right size bolts and tightens them to whatever it calls for, some times hand tight sometimes you snap them it all depends

[@Alvgaar]

Im concerned about the fact that he's that far up in the building and he removes his only security against falling to place it onto the next beam. if that were norway you'd have to have two. so when you move one you are still secured. and after you've moved the first one then you move the second one.

[@juangonzalez9848]

He has a second, just not using it.

[@andyj4493]

Very impressive! 8 years in the game and wouldn't swap it for the world! Although it looks a lot more fun in the us, as the uk has introduced far to many health and safety laws, so it's taken some of the fun out of erecting!

[@mattcummings6325]

From someone who knows nothing about your work (mad respect) - why are you only putting 1 bolt in for each beam? Does it have something to do with applying a torque spec to the beam/bolts afterwards?
