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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

Penalty
Initial $2,800 · Current $2,800
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)The possibility of death, dismemberment, and/or crushing injuries
caused by
the collapse of pre-fabricated wooden roof trusses which were not
adequately
secured or braced during installation.  On or about August 5, 1998, this
employer failed to ensure that approximately 42 trusses, with a combined
weight of over 16,000 pounds, were adequately secured and braced in
accordance with the Truss Placement Plan or Publication HIB-91 Summary
Sheet published by the Truss Plate Institute which sets forth specific
temporary
bracing standards for wood trusses.  Failure to follow these standards did
result in a serious structural collapse.
While ultimate responsibility for correcting the hazard rests with the
employer, given its superior knowledge of the workplace, feasible and
acceptable methods to correct this hazard, among others, are to follow
the temporary bracing standards in Publication HIB-91 including:  (1)
making all temporary bracing connections with a minimum of 2-16d
nails, (2) installing 2X4 top cord lateral bracing spaced at no more than
6 feet apart, (3) lapping lateral braces across at least 2 trusses, and (4)
installing top cord diagonal (45 degree) bracing spaced no more than 9
trusses apart.
Abatement certification is required for this violation (using the
CERTIFICATION OF
CORRECTIVE ACTION WORKSHEET), and in addition, documentation demonstrating
that
abatement is complete must be included with your certification.  This
documentation may
include, but is not limited to, evidence of the purchase or repair of the
equipment,
photographic or video evidence of abatement, or other written records.
