Steel guidance completes more than three years
The Steel Industry Guidance Notes (SIGNS), distributed with issues of NSC since January 2006, have now completed three and half successful years.
SIGNS are short, two page inserts that give practical advice on technical, commercial, legal, marketing, and health and safety issues that build into a comprehensive set of notes on key aspects of steel construction.
Each guidance note is periodically reviewed and updated to ensure that only the most relevant and up to date information is available.
Since January 2006 there have been 35 SIGNS:
SN35 Long span composite beams
SN34 Through-thickness Properties
SN33 Steel Industry Guidance Notes (SIGNS)
SN32 Execution of Steel Structures
SN31 Structural Hollow Sections – Making the correct choice
