employer did not

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/struck by collapsing roof
trusses due to inadequate
bracing techniques.
a- 320 Franklin Boulevard, Somerset NJ, Eternal Life Christian Church -
Employees
engaged in roof truss installation were exposed to injury from being
struck by the
collapsing truss components as the trusses were not stabilized with
adequate temporary
bracing. Condition noted on March 1, 2003.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct these
hazards is to:
1. Follow the industry standard, ANSI/TPI 1-2002 to provide temporary
bracing
to the trusses during erection.
2. Utilize the recommendations of the Truss Plate Institute contained in
the HIB-
91 Booklet Commentary and Recommendations for Handling, Installing, &
Bracing Metal Plate Connected Wood Trusses, HIB-91.
3. Follow the shop drawings from the truss manufacturer that indicates that
temporary bracing were necessary.
