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 May 6, 1988, employees were exposed to hazard of being
struck by falling trusses at Driftwood Plaza, in Jupiter, Florida.
It was observed that continuous lateral bracing, cross bracing and
diagonal bracing was not installed during erection specifically to
prevent dominoing during erection.
Among other methods one feasible and acceptable method to correct this
hazard would be to ensure that the Truss Plate Institute BWT-76, Bracing
Wood Truss Commentary and recommendations are in erectors possession and
carried out and secure 2" x 4" bracing in the place of top, bottom and
cross bracing cords.
