Working Conditions

Structural and reinforcing iron and metal workers usually work outside in all kinds of weather. However, those who work at great heights do not work during wet, icy, or extremely windy conditions. Because the danger of injuries due to falls is great, ironworkers use safety devices such as safety belts, scaffolding, and nets to reduce risk.

Some ironworkers fabricate structural metal in fabricating shops, which usually are located away from the construction site. These workers are covered in the statement on assemblers and fabricators found elsewhere in the Handbook.
