For almost two decades, organizations supporting the ironworker’s industry have sought constructive solutions to improve the footing for ironworkers during erection of structural steel. This issue, specifically as it relates to the coatings industry, is the loss of traction between the ironworker’s footwear and the coated steel beam, and the potential for the worker of falling to their death as a result of slipping on wet or damp coated steel beam surfaces. As most members of the coatings and steel construction industry are aware, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) has enacted Subpart R (“Steel Erection”) to Section 1926 (“Safety and Health Regulations for Construction”) of Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations.  The scheduled date for this regulation to take effect is July 18, 2006.  With this impending date now approaching, the coatings industry must seek to deliver effective solutions for the steel fabrication industry that will both economically and effectively comply with this regulation.This  paper will describe three (3) coating technology solutions and the pros and cons of each, when utilized in both fabrication shop and field situations.
