Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing
NAICS 332312 · United States · 2022 edition
This U.S. industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in fabricating structural metal products, such as assemblies of concrete reinforcing bars and fabricated bar joists.
Start the review with products liability.
For Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing, the saved research highlights products liability, employee injuries, fire and property. Confirm how these arise in the actual operation, what controls are used and whether additional services change the proposed coverage.
Questions to ask
- What types of structural components are fabricated — bar joists, rebar assemblies, custom frames, or other products?
- What is the primary end-use of fabricated components — commercial buildings, industrial facilities, infrastructure, or other?
- Does the operation include any on-site installation or erection work, or is fabrication only?
- What is the annual revenue split between standard product lines and custom or engineered-to-specification work?
- Are there any export sales or supply to international projects?
- What welding processes and cutting operations are used, and what fire suppression is in place?
- For Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing, what should the underwriter know about components supplied for high-consequence infrastructure such as bridges, stadiums, high-rise towers, or public assembly structures where failure severity is extreme?
- For Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing, what should the underwriter know about prior products liability or structural failure claims, even if ultimately resolved in the insured's favor?

Establishments in this class cut, bend, weld, punch, and assemble structural steel and iron components — including concrete reinforcing bar assemblies, fabricated bar joists, structural frames, and custom metal assemblies — primarily for sale to commercial and industrial construction contractors. Work is performed in a production facility using heavy fabrication equipment, and finished components are typically shipped to job sites for installation by others.
