that employees were
exposed to a struck-by hazard from a falling load:

hoist
bundles of roofing insulation from the bed of truck trailers to the roof
of the structure.
Rigging for the load consisted of synthetic web slings and 2" X 4"
(nominal) boards.
The 2" x 4" boards, used as a structural component of the lifting device,
