V. CONCLUSION
During erection, it is mandatory to maintain the stability of the
structure at all times. It is observed that structures collapse
during erection and major reason behind collapse is due to
lack of understanding on someone's part of what another has
assumed in the erection procedure. So, the guidelines are
necessary to understand the erection procedure with proper
safety as it is a critical consideration during steel erection. It is
generally a case for partly erected structure which is
vulnerable to collapse where cranes can overturn or drop
large components if not taken proper care during erection.
Hence, these regulations and guidelines regarding the
provision of equipment and arrangements minimize the risk of
accident.
