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 employees
were exposed to the hazard of being crushed by collapsing wood decks due
to inadequate vertical
support and bracing used in their construction. Among other methods, one
feasible and
acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to install adequate
vertical supports and
lateral bracing to fully support the wood decks.

2x8 stock under the
deck and the vertical supports and bracing were not adequate.
