General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:  The
employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were
free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death
or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to:
a) On or about April 29, 1986, employees were exposed to hazard of being
struck by falling trusses at Building No. 11 of Mahogany Bay, Boynton
Beach, Florida 33435 in that adequate and continuous lateral bracing
and proper diagonal bracing was not used to prevent toppling and
dominoing during erection. Bracing through chords laterally and cross
bracing was not provided to ensure that trusses were secure in a
straight and plumb position.
Among other methods one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard would be to ensure that the Truss Plate Institute,
RWT-76, Bracing Wood Trusses Commentary and Recommendations are carried
out according to procedures as the job progresses.
