There have been many technological advances in steel products and materials in recent years; it is now the most frequently used metal in construction. Steel is utilized in a wide range of buildings and constructions, and is often combined with other types of building materials, such as concrete.
BSI standards and publications specify all normal technical requirements for the manufacture and use of steel in construction.
With the increasing number of underground work places, and several of these requiring access for persons and equipment, an opening of at least 1 metre, sometimes much larger is needed. With growing attention to safety at work (especially in the construction industry) it is important to have a rationalised approach to the design, testing and user safety of this type of product.
