General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:
The employer did not furnish to each of his employees employment and a
place of employment
which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or were likely
to cause death or
serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to the
hazard of falling from
defective wood trusses:
On or about 04/15/02, at the north central side of a house under
construction, an employee was
exposed to a fall hazard while working from a wood truss which was not
checked for defects.
Among other methods of abatement, a feasible and acceptable method to
correct this hazard is
to have both sides of the wood trusses inspected prior to allow employees
to work from the
structural members.
PLEASE NOTE: CERTIFICATION OF ABATEMENT IS REQUIRED FOR THIS
VIOLATION.
