While the provided documents do not directly address PPE for steel erecting, they do offer general guidance on personal protective equipment that may be applicable. Based on the documents, consider the following PPE for steel erecting:

• Eye Protection: Safety glasses or chemical goggles should be worn to protect against dust, debris, or splashes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 13, 19, 20.
• Hand Protection: Wear suitable waterproof gloves to protect against skin irritation and chemical exposure 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 13, 19, 20.
• Skin and Body Protection: Use appropriate protective clothing to minimize skin exposure 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 13, 20.
• Respiratory Protection: In areas with poor ventilation or where exposure limits may be exceeded, a NIOSH-approved dust mask or filtering facepiece is recommended 10, 14. Ensure the respirator is selected and used under the guidance of a trained health and safety professional, following OSHA's respirator standard (29 CFR 1910.134) and ANSI's standard for respiratory protection (Z88.2) 10, 18, 20.

In addition to the above, steel erecting may require specialized PPE such as:

• Hard Hats: To protect against head injuries from falling objects.
• Fall Protection: Harnesses, lanyards, and safety nets to prevent falls from heights.
• Steel-toed Boots: To protect feet from impact and compression hazards.

It is important to conduct a thorough hazard assessment of the steel erecting site to determine the specific PPE requirements for the job. Employers should also ensure that workers are properly trained on the use and maintenance of PPE 18, 20.
