8 STRUCTURAL WORK OCCUPATIONS
8 STRUCTURAL WORK OCCUPATIONS
This category includes occupations concerned with fabricating, erecting, installing, paving,
painting, repairing, and similarly working structures or structural parts, such as bridges,
buildings, roads, transportation equipment frames and structures, cables, girders, plates, and
frames. The work generally occurs outside a factory or shop environment, except for factory
production line occupations concerned with fabricating, installing, erecting, or repairing
structures. Tools used are handtools or portable power tools, and such materials as wood, metal,
concrete, glass, and clay are involved. Stationary machines are frequently used in structural work
occupations, but the worker's relationship to machines is usually secondary in importance as
compared to use of handtools and portable power tools. Workers are frequently required to have a
knowledge of the materials with which they work, e.g., stresses, strains, durability, and resistance
to weather.
