Steel construction/erection: Grove wheel mounted self-propelled hydraulic telescoping boom mobile crane lifts two wide flange structural steel sections to be placed by two ironworkers. The lower steel section is ~8 ft long is to be erected first and the upper is ~30 ft long second. The ironworkers are in position, each with a foot to either side of an erected wide flange section, one standing with arms raised to signal the crane operator and to grab and guide the lower section into position. Note the wires carrying electricity, on right side of site far below the end of boom. Any contact between crane boom and a high voltage wire such as here, creates an extreme hazard that kills many ironworkers annually. Depot Street, February 2006.
