What this inspection record means

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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

JOBSITE: The workers, in the process of installing "metal plate connected
wood trusses" that

two (2) employees
during the process of installation, and the two (2) employees sustained
serious injuries from the
incidents.

and Bracing Metal
Plate Connected Wood Trusses; BCSI-B1 and BCSI-B2 (Building Component
