SCOPE Code 5059 is applied to the erection of iron or steel frame structures, other than dwellings, including assembling or fabricating at the job site. It includes the raising of the structural members and securing by bolting, welding or riveting the frame or skeleton of buildings not over two stories in height, i.e., barns, garages, warehouses, aircraft hangars, Quonset huts, lunch stands, gasoline filling stations, etc. Specialist contractors performing the erection of concrete structural beams or girders, which have been cast by others, also fall within the scope of this classification as well as specialist contractors performing the connecting of bar joists to the steel framework. Sheet metal siding erection or interior or exterior light-gauge steel frame erection are properly subject to divisions of payroll as are other contracting operations where the rules of the manual relating to payroll division will permit.
Code 5059 also includes any iron or steel work on one- or two-family residences or other buildings used for dwelling purposes, including Quonset huts, not exceeding two stories in height. The operations involve the raising of the structural members and securing by bolting, welding or riveting. Specialist contractors performing the erection of concrete structural beams or girders that have been cast by others also fall within the scope of this classification as well as specialist contractors performing the connecting of bar joists to the steel framework. Sheet metal siding erection or interior light-gauge steel frame erection are properly subject to divisions of payroll as are other contracting operations where the rules of the manual relating to payroll division will permit.
Code 5059 also applies to employers performing the erection of iron or steel in connection with military reservation construction not over two stories in height. This would include barracks, hospitals, mess halls, canteens or post exchanges, administration buildings, officers' quarters, and recreation centers. It is also applicable to the construction or repair of waterworks, powerhouses, warehouses used for storage of commissary goods, equipment, tanks, guns, etc., aircraft hangars, ammunition storehouses, repair shops, radio stations, and similar erection or repair work when this work is included under the same contract for construction, provided the major erection or repair cost or the majority of payroll is expended in connection with buildings designed for the housing, welfare, and keep of personnel. If the major erection or repair cost or the majority of payroll is expended in connection with buildings other than those designed for the housing, welfare and keep of personnel, the appropriate classifications must be assigned to the erection or repair of such buildings.
Welding operations, whether performed by principal or by specialist contractors in connection with iron or steel erection, are considered incidental to Code 5059.
Refer to Code 5403 for extra-territorial premium determination guidelines that may be applicable to employers that have operations outside their headquarters' state.
State Addendum
Massachusetts The scope of Code 5059 includes work performed at ground level
for material staging, storage and sorting of steel, load preparation
to ready structural steel members to be hoisted in place by hooking
and unhooking payload, as well as the operation and maintenance of
the hoisting device by members of the steel erection crew. Code 5059
encompasses all tasks (e.g., bolting, riveting and welding) related
to connecting steel members, joists, girders and trusses, including
the process of lining, levelling and plumbing of the steel frame members
by performing the final bolt tightening and shimming to ensure proper
positioning. Code 5059 also contemplates installing bracing members
and connections, such as purlins, ties and knee braces, used to add
stability during the erection and deck concreting. The installation
of metal decking, which serves (1) to provide a work platform at each
floor level, (2) as a crash deck to protect workers on lower levels
from falling objects, and (3) as the form work necessary for pouring
the concrete floors, is considered incidental to the main iron or
steel erection work and should be classified on the same basis as
such work whether performed by principal or specialist contractors.
The installation of edge protection, utilizing structural steel rail
systems that are positioned during the erection phase to all perimeters
and internal voids to prevent falls from heights, is also contemplated
under Code 5059. All direct jobsite supervision responsible for the
oversight of the above steel erection tasks falls within the scope
of Code 5059.
In the event that a steel erection contractor is awarded a separate
Miscellaneous Metals Package to install ornamental steel components
(e.g., architectural steel, stairs, railings) at the same location,
these operations are to be separately rated under Code 5102—Iron
or Steel: Erection: Iron, Brass, or Bronze Erection—Not Structural—Interior.
The erection of pre-engineered steel buildings that do not exceed
30 feet in height is also included under Code 5059. These buildings
typically consist of warehouses, self-storage buildings, hangers,
and garages. They are fabricated in factories in kit form. The framing
members are completely formed in the factory, typically including
punching or drilling screw holes, which are used to attach the siding
components and roof panels. The siding components and roof panels
typically consist of roll-formed or corrugated sheet metal. Erection
of these buildings involves screwing or bolting the prefabricated,
pre-engineered components together. This includes all tasks (e.g.,
bolting, riveting and welding) related to connecting steel members,
joists, girders and trusses, including the process of lining, levelling
and plumbing of the steel frame members by performing the final bolt
tightening and shimming to ensure proper positioning. The siding components
and roof panels are then screwed to the framing members. Code 5059
includes work performed at ground level for material staging, storage
and sorting of steel; load preparation to ready structural steel members
to be hoisted in place; operation and maintenance of the hoisting
device by members of the erection crew; and installation of siding
components and roof panels. All direct jobsite supervision responsible
for the oversight of the above erection tasks falls within the scope
of Code 5059. Code 3365—Welding, etc., Code 9534—Mobile
Crane, etc., Code 5040—Iron or Steel—Erection—Frame Structures,
and Code 5538—Sheet Metal Work, etc., shall not be assigned at the same
job or location to which Code 5059 applies.
