OSHA opens inspections for many reasons — routine scheduling under a national or local emphasis program, an employee complaint or referral, or a follow-up after a reported injury. Opening or conducting an inspection is not itself an allegation or a finding that this employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

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 workers were exposed to the hazards of being struck by metal plate connected wood trusses: JOBSITE: Workers installing "metal plate connected wood trusses" that spanned between 67 and 78 feet were exposed to the hazard of falling from and being struck by the roof trusses which were inadequately braced in that the horizontal bracing was only secured by using a single 12d nail instead of two (2) 16d nails and no diagonal bracing was installed. Consequently, on or about May 27, 2004, four (4) workers were seriously injured when 28 out of 30 trusses collapsed during the installation process when a worker walking through the interior of the trusses tripped/slipped and attempted to use the trusses for stability. Among others, one acceptable and feasible means of abatement would be to install the roof trusses in accordance with the Truss Plate Institute's (TPI) recommendations which are contained in HIB-91, Recommendations for Handling, Installing and Bracing Metal Plate Connected Wood Trusses; BCSI-B1 and BCSI-B2 (Building Component Safety Information); and the HIB-91 Summary Sheet which is provided with every delivery (along with the BCSI-B1) by the truss manufacturer.
