Course Content
This course explores aspects of AS 4100 ‘Steel Structures’ that go beyond the usual design equations but rather consider a range of associated perspectives, bringing in responsibility of stakeholders, the procurement environment, compliance, legal perspectives, workplace health and safety and Standards. The course is 3 hours and 30 minutes in duration.
The course provides important context to designers and other stakeholders as to the current design, procurement and construction environments, how they work together and, in some cases, how they do not work together well. As such, the information presented affects not only designers, but also procurers, importers, fabricators, manufacturers, distributors and constructors.

- Materials and fabrication Standards (relationship to design; who makes the call when changes occur)
- Legal responsibility (whose is it?)
- How do we make this all work? (bringing it all together)
