How To Maintain And Clean Your Roll Fly Screen For Maximum Efficiency

Roll fly screens are an effective way to keep insects and other unwanted pests out of your home. They can also help improve air ventilation while keeping the interior of your house cool during summer. But like any other window or door screening, roll-fly screens need regular maintenance in order to stay efficient and last longer. Here is a guide on how you can maintain and clean your roll fly screen for maximum efficiency: 

Check For Damage 

Before cleaning the roll fly screen, it's important to check for any damage that may have occurred over time. Inspect all areas of the screen, such as its mesh material, frame, corners and joints, for signs of wear or tear. If you find any broken pieces or holes in the mesh material, then it's best to replace them with new parts instead of attempting repairs yourself. This will ensure that your roll fly screen stays intact and works properly after cleaning. 

Remove Dust And Debris 

Dust particles often accumulate on both sides of the roll-up screen, which can reduce its effectiveness if not removed regularly. To clean these particles off, use a vacuum cleaner with soft brush attachments so that you don't damage the mesh material when vacuuming near it. You may also want to wipe down both sides of the mesh with a damp cloth in order to remove dirt or stubborn debris from hard-to-reach places, such as crevices between frames or edges along joints where dust tends to collect more easily than in other areas.

Clean With Soap & Water Solution 

After removing visible dirt, dust particles and debris from both sides of the rolling mosquito net, mix some liquid detergent into warm water until suds begin forming at the top surface before submerging a microfiber cloth into this solution. Gently scrub both side surfaces using this cloth but avoid putting too much pressure onto either side since doing so could cause further damage by stretching out fibres from within the fabric matrix. Once finished rinsing off soap residue using clear running water, then let dry completely under direct sunlight before reinstalling back onto the same window/door location.  

Lubricate Moving Parts 

Once done cleaning the entire unit, including moving parts (e.g. locks mechanism), apply a few drops of lubricating oil around hinges joints so that they remain working smoothly without getting stuck when opening/closing roller shutters. Especially during hot, humid summers, rust formation is more likely due to corrosion caused by moisture buildup inside metal components.

Reinstall Roll Fly Screen Properly

Before reinstalling the roll fly screen, make sure that both sides have been cleaned and dried off completely, then follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer when attaching them back onto the window/door frame. Ensure that joints are securely locked into place using screws or other fastenings before testing out functionality, such as the opening/closing mechanism works without any problems – if not, then repeat the lubrication step until satisfied.

Conclusion 

Roll fly screens can be an effective way to keep pests out of your home while also improving air ventilation and temperature regulation during the hot summer months. It's important to maintain them regularly to ensure maximum efficiency, which includes checking for damage, removing dust & debris, cleaning with soap & water solution, lubricating moving parts as well as reinstalling properly back onto the original location. Following these steps will help you extend your roll fly screen's life expectancy while ensuring they continue working all year round efficiently.

A very small fly.  You can tell how small it is as you can see the out of focus tip to the insect pin to the right of the head shot.  Not sure what species, but the beauty of the wing and the white integument and contrasty hair and eyes were appealing.   Collected inadvertently while netting bees in Eastern Neck National Wildlife Refuge on a bright sunny day in the 70s. <b>               ~~~~~~~~~~{{{{{{0}}}}}}~~~~~~~~~~</b>

<i> Love for Other Things

It’s easy to love a deer But try to care about bugs and scrawny trees Love the puddle of lukewarm water From last week’s rain. Leave the mountains alone for now. Also the clear lakes surrounded by pines. People are lined up to admire them. Get close to the things that slide away in the dark. Be grateful even for the boredom That sometimes seems to involve the whole world. Think of the frost That will crack our bones eventually.       -  Tom Hennen </i>

Bringing a World of Adventure Hunting in to Your Home

Not everyone is not living in a position to wander the woods, desert, beach or ruins. I had that situation at one point in my life. And yes its depressing. And when you read others doing all these things its can really get to you. However there are a huge number of things yo CAN do to counteract the depression. Lets visit a good many of these things:

1) Everyone’s first Go-to is Roleplaying. Be its table-top or online. But not all Online games bring out the true desire to adventure, as they are limited to telling a specific story. As such I suggest avoiding using game maps and make you own real maps. Right down and study any runes in the game, study the magic tech in the game, write side stories of your character that can not be done in game. Create a history to the character you made. Some games are limited what you character looks like. Draw your own character and hang it by your game station.

2) If you have adventure wear, wear it about the house/apartment. Does not have to be all of it. Boots, a shirt, a vest, tunic, wristbands, cloak 

3) If you  have the money and talent turn kitchen into a tavern or saloon, line shelfs with bottles and plates and other tavern/saloon wear. Avoid cheese props. Study movie sets and get ideas from that. 

4) Likewise turn your bedroom into an Inn room. Go ristic and simple with natural colors and materials

5) Burn in a cauldron or censor wood chips, herbs and incense, 

6) Hang posters of nature about the walls in natural wood frames. If you can obtain some old wood window frames, you that as your poster frames. If possible find images of nature on line and print them out. Try to make all the images co-inside, so its looks like you are looking out into the same view. Change the posters with the seasons if possible 

7) Place realistic life-size animals about your home: Snake, turtle, mice, birds, chipmunks, insects. If you have a ficus tree or a cluster of plants, place a birds nest with eggs in it

8) Play sound effects and ambient sounds in the house. Youtibe and other sites have a plethora of ambiance and sounds from cave to camp sites, tavern sounds, market squares, pirate ships, forests 

9) Add a fountain/s in your home. Fountain pumps can be bought anywhere these days, 

10) Terrariums! Make them and add them to your home. Even of the plants are fake 

11) Aquariums! If your adventurous aestheic love is the see or any water setting like ponds, these are fantastic to have. And do not limit yourself to just fish: Crabs, snails, turtles, frogs, lizards, snakes. Even if you are not allowed to have pes, build an aquarium anywhere. The flow of the water from the filtar moving the plants can lend to the imagination  

12) Wood, tin and copper and wrought iron objects 

13) Leather bound books. Line a shelf with them, 

14) Candles and lanterns. Some people can not have things where they live for safety mode. Even if you never burn them, have a cluster of candles anyway. Just the look of lanterns and candles plays with the mind. You can also invest in battery ones but I think they are silly looking

15) Bowls of fruit: Wood bowls and real fruits and nuts about the house. 

16) Seasonal and year round garlands and wreaths about the house. Clusters of ferns. If you do not have a green thumb, go fake if need be. Ferns and spider plans are my fave. 

17) Drift wood and moss covered wood. 

18) If you have your own Adventure clothes and gear do not bury it in a closet. Get a mannequin and display it, 

19) Fur, leather, blankets, wool, sheepskin throws and pillows.

20) Banners and tapestries 

21) Invest in a couple of mortar & pestle sets, one for the kitchen and one for the bathroom is you have the room. (Confession: I collect them) 

22) Hang herbs and dry plants in the kitchen.   

23) Clay pots and assorted pottery about the house. Try to sick with OLD looking styles. Check out some sites or books on ancient styles for an idea 

24) Antlers add a wonderful feel to ambience. Even if fake. Now they are made into door handles, draw knobs and so much more. (DO NO go hung deer and elk JUST for their racks)

25) Bowls and vases of snail shells, acorns, pine cones, 

26) Rolls and displays of maps, 

17) Glass and Ceramic bottles: Display a few or better yet, use them! fill them with shampoos, liquid soaps, drinks and what ever else you use and look at daily  

18) Old style dip pens and ink vials on your desk along with scrolls of parchment and an old leather bound journal, 

19) Color glass baubles like the ones at christmas time and “witch balls” These are great if your Aesthetic is the sea or in the Witchy profession, 

20) Wood wand display. Not talking about Harry Potter here. Do a little reserach and find or make a REAL one. Display it on your desk or mantle staff. If you have a set, even better. 

21) A Statue of an ancient god, 

22) Baskets and wicker to hold things 

23) Metal goblets and drinking horns

24) If you have one or several hand your shields on the walls, 

25) Oil hurricane lamps, 

24) Hang and display Gourds about. If you know how to carve and stain gourds, all the better, 

25) Birds houses. In the house?? Sure, why not? 

26) Feathers. Sometimes just a vase of ling feathers helps. If they are feathers you find in your walks, just as better. Each one has a story  

28) Bowls of rocks. Not only does this bring the natural world in but its said that a bowl of rocks by the door and window wards off negativity. 

29) Old wood boxes. Just do not collect them but USE them. put whatever in them as storage. Afraid you will forget what’s in it??? All the better. There is your treasure at the end of your search. 

30) Corn dollies. These folk cultural dolls and designs have their roots into the ancient world. a display of them, especially during the late summer, really invokes the harvest season 

31) Ceramic and wood bake ware in the kitchen. Ads a rustic tavern feel. This could include   bread boards and bowls, wood spoons, rolling pins,

32) Replace DVD covers with parchment or wood texture covers. Sometimes a wall of game and DVD cases can kill an ambiance you are striving for. If you can not print out all these coves, hang a tapestry over your shelf unit or add wood shutter doors  

33) Cover your library of bright color books with leather, paper of plether, No access to leather? See of someone has an old leather jacket they are ditching you can cut up

34) Wood flutes, harps, ocarinas, pan pips, lyres and rustic drums add to a great tavern-ish display.

35) A tall vase of cattails gives ambiance for this that over adventures in places like rivers and lakes, 

36) If you have a collection of crystals, sea glass and gemstones, show them off in a wood box or basket, 

37) Halloween Witch bottles add to the adventure appel. (I have a buhnch and have all my teas in them, 

38) Fancy yourself an Librarian or treasure seeker? Have a display of “artifacts” like (potters, tiles, scales, bones, glass, wood), Find some broken pottery shards and make them look like Greek pottery. If you sculpt make a remnant of a state or a bone or prehistoric tooth. Create your own artifacts and put stories to them.

39) Hang a bunch of leather sachets and small bags from a hook or sit them on a shelf, 

40) Find yourself a rustic tea set, 

41) Collect vintage clay and wood tops. Tops have been around since ancient Assyria and Babylon.

42) Display a collection of carving tools or depending on your likes, a small anvil and hammer,  

43) Hand on hoots of rack by your door or wall woven wicker hats, leather caps and witch/witch hat, head wreaths,

44) Display an old stick/straw/grass broom head wreaths, 

45) Display a helm or helmet you have in a place that speaks “I am at the ready”

46) Fold a small stack of old burlap bags and place on a shelf and use them to store things like potatoes and onions, 

47) Display and basket of wood knitting needles and wool,

48) Grow plants, flowers, herbs and small trees. Even small pots of just grass adds a sense of nature and Adventure (The ancient Greeks would grow grass for their New Years Eve celebration) I have lemon trees in my windows I grew from seeds.

49) A Fish Net works great to add an aesthetic look to your space.

50) If nothing more find an artist and have him/her draw your aesthetic self as you see yourself in different poses, gear and situations. Blow thing up power size and hang them about your space

51) If you can not do any of this, create a physical scrap book of pictures and images that’s screams your aesthetic ideals. Visit it daily and add to it.

NOTE: While all these ideas are great starts, DO NOT over do it. Less is more. Rustic and simple. Avoid cheesy plastic props and things like signs screaming “I am a Proud Viking!” Investigate films, movies and history into your aesthetic loves and the world behind it. Do not create clutter. Make you space livable and function to your NEEDS. Make you space your home, not a museum. If your space is cluttered and does not bring you a feel of your Aesthetic feelings you may need to pull back on some of your props.

Professional Pest Control Methods to Drive Out Your Apartment Pests

Out of all the in-house problems, pests are the worst enemies. Pests like cockroaches, mosquitoes, termites, moths, wasps, bugs, ants, and spiders are some prime members of this family. They are not only gross, but some of them are venomous and can be dangerous for your health. They also carry certain infections, which can be contagious if they get in contact. They also disrupt your furniture, and other gaps in between the walls, leading to a spoiled look and other damages. It’s really important to keep a check on them and regular pest control is essential to keep your apartment free of these creatures.  When dealing with pests or planning for pest control, it’s important to look for professional pest control in Hastings.

As the procedure involves the use of toxic chemicals and sprays, it’s advisable not to try a DIY, instead consult the experts in this field. In this blog, we have saved you some time and included some tips and methods that you can implement without hurting yourself.  

Eliminate the breeding ground- When looking for an infested place in the house, pests are often found in a place that provides them easy food and a safe breeding place. They are often attracted to the places where the ration or water is stored. Because it provides them with the basic needs to shelter and breed in large numbers. Eliminating any one of them or all of these conditions will increase your chances of pest removal. The best way to get rid of these reproducing grounds is to keep your apartments dry, clean, and warm. Maintaining a clean home and cleaning damp, moist, and dark areas on a regular basis will severely limit the infested areas for them and keep your home pests free.

Screened or netted entries- The biggest entrance for the pests and insects is your doors and windows. They allow direct entry when you miss an eye out on them. The insects like bugs, moths, wasps, mosquitoes, etc. once entered and found a safe place to breed, it gets tough to get rid of them. To protect you from this, you can always get shuttered windows, glass panelled windows, or simply the netted ones. These are easy means to implement, rather than spending time and efforts on pest control later. These can easily block their entry and will keep them out of the house. Also, you should check for cracks and gaps within your apartments. Because these small bugs can be often found within these gaps and might go unnoticed. If you see any one of them get it caulked immediately.

Clean kitchen waste- Certain experts of pest control in Hastings advice that the remains of meats, vegetables, or any food items left in the sink or open space is the prime attraction for insects. They get easily attracted to these food items and they breed at a very fast pace when they get ample food. So it becomes important to get rid of kitchen waste as soon as you finish peeling or cutting vegetables or any meat product. The waste should be properly segregated before disposal. Use separate bins and garbage bags to avoid spilling or overflowing or mismanaged waste collection. The used glasses or dishes shall be cleaned immediately so that pests don’t get a chance to feed on them. You should also make sure that you do not have any broken shelves or unused papers stacked up, as these places are common where you can find most household pests.

Regular pest controls- This is one of the best ways to keep your apartments free from pests and insects. Professional pest controls have the knack to understand the possible places, areas, and methods to look for hidden pests and how to control them. Professional pest control in Hastings have years of experience and they know much more things as compared to a normal individual.

How to defeat heat and mosquitoes? / Wie bleiben Hitze und Mücken draußen? / Come sconfiggere caldo e zanzare?

Summer is the season of beautiful sunny days and... mosquitoes! To keep away from domestic environments mosquitoes and all the other annoying insects that start to buzz around our homes, a mosquito net is definitely the ideal solution, because it allows total protection, even with open windows, avoiding the use of chemicals.

The alternative mosquito net to defeat the heat

In summer, however, there is also the need to darken the environments to keep them as fresh as possible. If you do not want to add other frames to windows or doors, you can choose an alternative fabric for the mesh to be mounted on the mosquito nets, to have a shielding effect too. Genius and Blinds has selected a series of fabrics that can filter sunlight.

Blackout or filtering mosquito net?

Genius and Blinds nets that can repair from the sun's rays can be light-filtering or blackout. The filtering fabrics guarantee a twilight effect, reducing the passage of light up to 90%, reducing the overheating of the environment; the blackout fabrics, on the other hand, completely obscure the light, and are excellent even in the absence of shutters. Moreover, thanks to the sliding characteristic of the fabric in the guides, a perfect sealing is ensured to light and a maximum stability of the mesh in position: no disturbing noise of slamming!

The Genius and Blinds alternatives

Alternatively, we recommend evaluating the Coralis roller blinds or the Shady glazing curtains.

Der Sommer hält viele schöne Sonnentage bereit und leider auch viele Mücken. Damit Mücken, Fliegen und andere Insekten draußen bleiben, bieten Insektenschutzsysteme eine ideale Lösung. Das Fenster kann offen bleiben und es besteht keine Notwendigkeit der Verwendung chemischer Insektensprays.

Die Insektenschutzalternative, die auch Hitze fernhält

Im Sommer besteht auch die Notwendigkeit, Räume abzudunkeln und die Hitze auszuschließen, damit sie so kühl wie möglich bleiben. Wenn keine weiteren Insektenschutzrahmen für die Verdunklung in Fenstern und Türen installiert werden sollen, besteht auch die Möglichkeit, ein anderes Gewebe auszuwählen, das Licht und Hitze abhält. Genius and Blinds hat eine Reihe von Gewebearten ausgewählt, die das Sonnenlicht filtern.

Ein Insektenschutz, der gleichzeitig auch Licht und Hitze abhält?

Die Stoffe der Insektenschutzlösungen von Genius and Blinds können Sonnenstrahlen filtern oder abhalten und den Raum dadurch verdunkeln. Die filternden Gewebe sorgen für einen Halbschatten, da sie bis zu 90 % des Tageslichts abhalten, weshalb sich der Raum weniger aufheizt. Verdunkelnde Gewebe schließen das Licht dahingegen vollständig aus und sind eine optimale Lösung, wenn Rollläden fehlen. Da das Gewebe durch eine Führungsschiene läuft, bleibt es an Ort und Stelle, ohne lästiges Klappern zu erzeugen, und es dringt garantiert kein Lichtstrahl ein. 

Alternativen von Genius and Blinds

Als alternative Lösungen schlagen wir die Rollos der Produktreihe Coralis oder Glashalteleistensysteme wie Shady vor.

Weitere Informationen zu unseren Insektenschutzlösungen für jeden Bedarf finden Sie auf der Website geniusandblinds.com.

L’estate è la stagione delle belle giornate di sole e… delle zanzare! Per mantenere lontani dagli ambienti domestici zanzare, pappataci, ma anche tutti gli altri insetti fastidiosi che iniziano a ronzare intorno alle nostra abitazioni la zanzariera è sicuramente la soluzione ideale, perché permette una protezione totale, anche a finestre aperte, e ci permette di evitare l’uso di sostanze chimiche.

La zanzariera alternativa per sconfiggere il caldo

Con l’estate, però, arriva anche l’esigenza di oscurare gli ambienti e tenerli più freschi possibile. Se non si vogliono aggiungere altri telai ai serramenti, è possibile scegliere un tessuto alternativo alla rete da montare sulle zanzariere, per avere un effetto schermante. Genius and Blinds ha selezionato una serie di tessuti in grado di filtrare la luce solare.

Zanzariera oscurante o filtrante?

I tessuti per zanzariere Genius and Blinds in grado di riparare dai raggi del sole, possono essere filtranti o oscuranti. I tessuti filtranti garantiscono un effetto penombra, abbattendo fino al 90% il passaggio di luce, riducendo il surriscaldamento dell’ambiente; i tessuti oscuranti, invece, bloccano completamente la luce, e sono ottimi anche in assenza di persiane e tapparelle. Inoltre, grazie alla caratteristica di scorrimento del telo nelle guide, viene garantita una sigillatura perfetta alla luce e una massima stabilità del telo in posizione: niente rumori molesti di teli che sbattono!

Le alternative Genius and Blinds

In alternativa consigliamo di valutare le tende a rullo Coralis o la soluzione tendina fermavetro Shady.

Paying for more than 3,500 daily drinks for six years, it turns out, is expensive. The NIH would need more funding—and soon, a team stepped up to the plate. The Foundation of the NIH, a little-known 20-year-old non-profit that calls on donors to support NIH science, was talking to alcohol corporations. By the fall of 2014, the study was relying on the industry for “separate contributions to the Foundation of the NIH beyond what the NIAAA could afford,” as Mukamal put it in an e-mail to a prospective collaborator. Later that year, Congress encouraged the NIH to sponsor the study, but lawmakers didn’t provide any money. Five corporations—Anheuser-Busch InBev, Diageo, Pernod Ricard, Heineken, and Carlsberg—have since provided a total of $67 million. The foundation is seeking another $23 million, according to its director of development, Julie Wolf-Rodda.

The font the menu is written in can convey similar messages; for instance an italic typeface conveys a perception of quality. But using elaborate fonts that are hard to read could also have another effect – it could alter how the food itself tastes.

A study conducted by researchers in Switzerland found that a wine labelled with a difficult-to-read script was liked more by drinkers than the same wine carrying a simpler typeface. Spence’s own research has also found that consumers often associate rounder typefaces with sweeter tastes, while angular fonts tend to convey a salty, sour or bitter experience.

Man for No Seasons

I find myself in San Diego, a safe distance from L.A. and that surreal hollowness I find more stifling than the heat. I already miss the open-aired isolation of Alaska, a world away from Texas and yet otherworldly compared to the rest of the country in some oddly similar way—something I'd never admit to any Texan and probably not any Alaskan either.

The money will run out soon, though. I drink from any wealth I might possess like water from a tap. I never learned to handle finances and, never settling down, out of sheer habit treat every advance, paycheck and royalty as my first, or last. I'm all the more aware of it as I try to navigate through the mall and pass by all those seemingly as lost as I am, like peacocks with all the colors of their shopping bags, lurid arrays of feathers. I wonder what kind of bird I look like to them with my rough edges and wandering gazes.

I am a writer by trade, at a point in my life now at which it seems clear that writing is the only thing I can do. Newspaper columns, magazine articles, travel guides, radio plays, shorts for anthologies, critical essays, lamppost poetry—everything I can, anything I ought to, I do. Sometimes I worry—foolishly, I know—that I will string together so many meaningless words that I will find myself with nothing to write and will be forced to come up with some convoluted new genre in order to survive.

I return to the motel in an attempt to escape, futile though it may be, as it is still a boat on the open sea for one who cannot stand the water. The unfailing Californian sun finds its way through the shuttered blinds to give the room a burnt brown hue, and so it feels like a cocoon to me. Soon, as for a pupa, it becomes unbearable and I must release myself from it.

Even when I stop at a single place I must encircle it so as not to feel pinned down like an insect by a collector. I drink at a couple of bars I haven't yet visited before quickly tiring of them. Walking down the main street, I feel shuttled as if drifting on through Disneyland, from location to location surrounded by cardboard cut-outs, set pieces, images of manufactured idylls that almost seem to carry price tags. I trudge along the distressingly clean (manicured?) beach, careful with drunken steps not to fill my shoes with the flawless sand.

I should admit that I drink often, which is to say constantly. I eat only as I need to, having little interest in food. I cannot, even after having traveled for days on end, sleep more than six hours a night. I do not dream, or rather if I do, I cannot distinguish it from what I endearingly refer to as reality. The best understanding I have of that notion I take from what others have told me.

I don't frequent any kind of bar in particular; they are the gas stations and rest stops along the road to anywhere as my last drink fades. Many know better than to engage with me in conversation once they see the look inadvertently asking, Can you break this spell or are you here to perpetuate it? This drastically limits one's social life, as what is left in my net are the most curious, unusual and out-of-place characters, food for my soul.

I've met a transgender bank robber from the East Coast (whose drink of choice was a lime vodka). There was the man who'd fled to Canada to avoid the draft, only to enlist as a Mountie (tequila, straight). Most recently was a former bull rider who retired after a shattered hip, a man who insisted his grandfather was the last true cowboy (Coors and only Coors).

A fellow I once met on my way somewhere—I can't recall if it was Tulsa or Topeka—had called me a man for no seasons. True, I suppose, because seasons are given to change. I'm a stranger in a strange land, and the two negatives cancel out one another. What I'm left with is an absurd sort of oneness,  the only kind I believe it is possible for me to experience in this lifetime, and so I am grateful for it, if begrudgingly so.

I once overheard a man, a psychoanalyst perhaps, explain that the human mind craves the stimulation found in new environments and experiences. For him this meant the importance of vacationing somewhere new each year or to have one's child learn to play a musical instrument.

Myself, I realized then that I had a surplus of this precious stimulation, that my life was a carousel of painted-on smiles at check-in desks, the arid departure lounges of regional airports and miserably familiar bars. It all batters my brain like artillery fire, and so I write incessantly to direct this inflow of reality back out again. Here I am, scrawling this confession of sorts on a series of napkins in an overly comfortable restaurant as I wait for soup.

To feel stuck in time while never remaining in one place is a bizarre thing I have yet to find the words to describe adequately. I am a man for no seasons. It isn't wanderlust that drags me here and there, far away and then back again, and it isn't the promise of work either. What moves me is something as invisible yet pervasive as the wind, to the point that when I feel a gust, I feel it is time to go.

Goodbye, San Diego. I'll see you when I see you.

Description of operations for Steel Erection Contractors

Steel erection contractors build, repair, or maintain the steel framework for buildings and other structures, including high-rise apartments and offices, industrial complexes, and warehouse buildings. Much of their work is structural and load-bearing. The hazards vary considerably depending on the size of the job and the number of stories. While steel is flexible, it can corrode in humid climates and can lose strength at high temperatures, which could result in collapse. Operations may involve the use and placement of heavy steel girders and I-beams. These may be welded together or fastened with bolts or hot rivets.

Types of Steel Contractor Business Exposures that Need Insurance Coverage

Property exposures at the contractor’s own location are generally limited to those of an office, shop, and storage of materials, equipment, and vehicles. Ignition sources include electrical wiring, heating, and air conditioning systems. The exposure increases if fabrication, which includes cutting and welding, is done on premises. Welding involves the use of tanks of gases that must be stored and handled properly to avoid loss. The absence of basic controls such as chained storage in a cool area and the separation of welding from other operations may indicate a morale hazard. Some material may be stored but it is not susceptible to damage by fire or weather.

Crime exposure is from employee dishonesty. Background checks should be conducted prior to hiring any employee. All orders, billing, and disbursements must be handled as separate duties and annual external audits conducted. All items should be physically inventoried on a regular basis to prevent theft. Inland marine exposures include accounts receivable if the contractor bills customers for services, computers, contractors’ tools, and equipment, including scaffolding, hoists, and portable welders, goods in transit, installation exposure, and valuable papers and records for customers’ and suppliers’ information. The contractors’ equipment schedule can include large cranes used to put beams in place. Equipment and supplies are subject to drop and fall from heights, especially when lifting girders or beams above ground. Since any accident may trigger both the equipment and installation coverages, as well as possible third-party liability, many contractors prefer to hire a crane with a licensed operator.

Goods in transit consist of tools and equipment as well as materials owned by either the insured or the customer for installation at the job site. I-beams and girders are usually drop shipped to the site by the manufacturer. If the insure transports these, special equipment is necessary due to the length of the beams. Materials are not highly susceptible to damage in transit. An installation floater will be needed if the materials to be installed are delivered to the site in advance of the installation. Hazards to machinery, tools, or building materials left at job sites and awaiting installation include theft, vandalism, damage from wind and weather, and damage by employees of other contractors. Some construction supplies may be target items for theft by third parties or employees.

Premises liability exposures at the contractor’s office are generally limited due to lack of public access. At the job site, steel erection always involves work at heights. Persons and property may be injured by falling objects, especially when work is done near existing structures or residences. Pedestrians and vehicles must be protected from falling objects through barricades and netting. Welding, cutting, and riveting may cause fires or serious injuries to the public or other contractors’ employees. Repair and maintenance work may entail closing roads and redirecting traffic. Improper signage or barricading could result in a vehicle collision and catastrophic loss of life. Both the structure under construction and the equipment (such as cranes) may create an attractive nuisance hazard to children who enjoy climbing. All equipment must be disabled when not in operation to prevent untrained individuals from using it. Fencing must be in place with appropriate warning signs to prevent trespassing.

Completed operations liability exposure is potentially severe should a structure collapse due to the number of people who could be injured or killed and the potential for damage to the property of others. The designer and engineer of the project, the quality of materials, and the integrity of the completed structure are all critical. The absence of an aggressive quality control program that documents full compliance with all construction, material, and design specifications may indicate a morale hazard and make it impossible to defend against serious claims. Any changes made by the engineers and carried through in the design must be noted prior to implementation. Hazards may increase in the absence of proper record keeping of work orders and change orders, as well as inspection and signed approval of finished work by the customer.

Professional liability exposures may be serious if the insured does design work or alters plans.

Automobile exposures can be high due to the transport of girders, beams, equipment, machinery, and supplies to and from job sites. Drivers should be properly trained to prevent overturn and to navigate through high traffic areas. Serious property damage or injury to employees of other contractors, passing pedestrians, or motorists can arise during loading, transport, and unloading equipment and materials. Long drives with oversized equipment may lead to driver fatigue and resulting accidents. For long-term projects away from home base, personal use of company vehicles poses a concern. Similarly, employees may use their own vehicles on company business for long periods, especially to transport crews to the jobsite.

Workers compensation exposure can be severe. Erection work always involves work at heights, with danger from falls or from falling objects. Sudden changes in wind or weather can make hoists and scaffolding less safe. Lifting and back injuries, hernias, sprains, and strains can occur from loading or unloading machinery or setting up structural parts. Collapse of or overturn of equipment may result in severe injury or death from crushing or suffocation. Common hazards include slips and falls, foreign objects in the eye, hearing impairment from noise, cuts or puncture wounds, bites from insects or vermin, and exposure to pollutants.

Description of operations for Steel Erection Contractors

Steel erection contractors build, repair, or maintain the steel framework for buildings and other structures, including high-rise apartments and offices, industrial complexes, and warehouse buildings. Much of their work is structural and load-bearing. The hazards vary considerably depending on the size of the job and the number of stories. While steel is flexible, it can corrode in humid climates and can lose strength at high temperatures, which could result in collapse. Operations may involve the use and placement of heavy steel girders and I-beams. These may be welded together or fastened with bolts or hot rivets.

Types of Steel Contractor Business Exposures that Need Insurance Coverage

Property exposures at the contractor’s own location are generally limited to those of an office, shop, and storage of materials, equipment, and vehicles. Ignition sources include electrical wiring, heating, and air conditioning systems. The exposure increases if fabrication, which includes cutting and welding, is done on premises. Welding involves the use of tanks of gases that must be stored and handled properly to avoid loss. The absence of basic controls such as chained storage in a cool area and the separation of welding from other operations may indicate a morale hazard. Some material may be stored but it is not susceptible to damage by fire or weather.
