Apprentice question
Field check
Standard work. Do it right, keep moving.
Never send metal up dry. A lift bucket with the needed bolts, clips, screws, and alignment tools should travel with the duct so the journeyman is not stuck holding weight in the air.
['You load three massive 60 × 24 TDC duct sections onto a Genie hoist and crank them up to a journeyman standing on a scaffold, but you forget to send up the corner bolts, drift pins, and flange clips, leaving them stranded in the air with no way to lock the joint.', 'Never send metal up dry. A lift bucket with the needed bolts, clips, screws, and alignment tools should travel with the duct so the journeyman is not stuck holding weight in the air. The likely recovery is to check the condition, correct prep/setup if it is within your assignment, and bring the foreman clean information before the work creates rework overhead.']
