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 crushing injuries due to being struck by falling portions
of the building

structure at a residential
construction site were exposed to structural collapse hazards, due to
inadequate bracing and
supports to assure structural integrity under appropriate wind load
conditions including the 58
mile per-hour winds to which it was exposed. Bracing and supports did not
meet the recognized
specifications for Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures

American National Standards Institute (ANSI), and American Society of
Civil Engineers (ASCE
