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 fall hazard of ten (10) feet while setting wooden roof
trusses without providing
adequate bracing.
(a)Guilford Town Square Site, Wooden Roof Truss Erection - The top, bottom
and
diagonal bracing for the low pitch roof trusses were lacking diagonal
support and
were not in accordance with HIB-91 which requires trusses over sixty (60)
feet
in span to be installed according to the recommendation of a registered
professional engineer, on or about May 4, 2000.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct the hazard is
