Geez I had to sit up in bed to watch, thought i was gonna fall, what a wuss I am.

Wow! I couldn't walk on a 2X6 without falling off if it was lying on the ground. To do this up there? Amazing.

This gives me the chills

I miss it! I miss being the top connector. Everbody on that job, was there for you. We would smoke weed and dance, LOVIN IT!

Hey bro keep making these type of videos they are really good and interesting just gained yourself a sub :)

I don't know what that safety strap is called but it looks like it would sure as hell hurt if you fell off a beam. Damn, these guys earn their money. Props to all of the ironworkers out there. Nothing but respect. Don't worry, that Gatorade is in a better place now...RIP...

I install skyliner fall protection systems and walk around on all the beams after these guys put em up. It's scary shit forsure even being tied off. And I only make $20 an hour, these guys probably make around 30-40 per hr

Balls of steel 👌

What type of retractable tie-off are you using here?

Im a steel erector (iron worker) in the UK,this is now banned all work now are in cherry pickers and man riders.Sometimes if last resort we have to walk on steel we have to get it signed off by management.Is it a good thing? My forefathers have hip and knee replacements from shimming up columns and walking steel so yes i think its better nowadays erecting steel just not as exciting! Respect to my iron worker brothers around the world,stay safe!

I'am newly civil engeenir who just graduated with master degree ( structures) and really hope to do this work if even for one day in my life but here in my country we build with concrete i think may be in all the country we have just less than 50 building i guess built with iron so i'am working to come to usa in the future and i will try this to be my work there

Insane

Looks like fun work just not as cool as elevators 😉 IUEC local 18. Work safe brother.

Nowhere near as dangerous these days, they have safety harnesses and are tied on to something at all times. The good old days when you were held up by the weight of your balls were something else.

@Critical_Stinking

Harnesses come with their own set of problems too. They hinder movement and can get snagged on things. They're not 100% safe.

There are double rope safety things that insure one rope is secure the whole time. Might want to ask the boss for one

Your good bro! Hopefully one day I’m as good as you 💪🏼

How come he only has to bolt one side in and not both

First rule of steel erection. Get your end in first and watch the other guy struggle

Im concerned about the fact that he's that far up in the building and he removes his only security against falling to place it onto the next beam. if that were norway you'd have to have two. so when you move one you are still secured. and after you've moved the first one then you move the second one.
