• Description:
  Everett [1997] described three mechanical sheet metal construction activities that consume 10% or more of the total work for the trade in southwestern Michigan. These activities were: install duct hangers, install ductwork, and install equipment. In the sheet metal trades breakout session, four additional activities and five tasks were added. Time con­straints prevented a full discussion of the additions. After a discussion, a majority of sheet metal trades breakout session participants suggested modifying the risk scores assigned to several tasks.
