MBI-PAC Fundraiser Honoring Six Legislative Leaders is a Huge Success

On June 10th, the MBI-PAC sponsored a fundraising at the Wakonda Club in Des Moines honoring six Iowa House members for the work they did for Iowa’s construction industry this past legislative session.   Our industry was challenged like no time before this past legislative session and through some very difficult times, these six individuals hung together to the benefit of Iowa’s construction industry.  Their individual efforts helped defeat state mandated wages and benefits on public projects; contractor prequalification / disqualification on public projects; employee choice of doctor for workers’ compensation claims; and a multitude of other bad for business bills that would have adversely impacted Iowa’s construction industry.

Ask Safety Phil & Ryan

What are the OSHA requirements for a general contractor or construction manager during steel erection?

Often, the controlling contractor does not know or understand the responsibility of implementing safety procedures during steel erection.  The following items are identified as the required standards:

  • Require the erector to provide a safety plan for steel erectors
  • Require the erector to provide a competent person to implement the plans and ensure employees have had safety training
