The following assessment was completed for Steel Dynamics, Inc. The position that was assessed was a Burner Bander. Workers in this position work 12 hour shifts. Their tasks include operating a crane, cutting samples from steel coils, and banding coils. The workers implement job rotation and complete each task in four hour increments. The following report is focused on the task of cutting samples from steel coils.

The samples weigh on average 40lbs. and can reach up to 100-150lbs. This process is directly following the coils being wrapped, and the coils are still dangerously hot. Due to the heat of the coils and samples, workers are required to wear PPE during the sampling process.

Workers were interviewed about their work conditions and observed completing job tasks to allow the following reports and assessments to be completed. Communication with the health and safety departments and research on how to improve the working conditions was also a factor in compiling the report.
