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 struck by a falling load:
a.Site - When raising the roof section, the roof was picked from only two
points,
not four as indicated by the manufacturer.  This could lead to failure of
the main
2X6 running along the roof section, and loss of the load.
ABATEMENT NOTE: Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable means of
abatement
would be to follow the instruction provided by the manufacturer, which
states, in part: "Raise
roof by attaching slings at four (4) quarter points around main roof
continuous 2X6."
