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 likely to cause death or
serious physical harm
to employees in that employees were exposed to structural collapse:
(A)Job Site: On May 27, 2004, employees were exposed to the hazard of
structural collapse of the truss system, since the trusses were not
diagonally
braced.
ABATEMENT NOTE: One feasible method of abatement, amongst others, to
correct the
hazard is to follow the guidance provided by the Wood Truss Council of
America and the
Truss Plate Institute (BCSI-B1) Summary Sheet-Guide for Handling,
Installing and Bracing
of Metal Plate Connected Wood Trusses.  This document instructs that
diagonal braces be
placed after the first five trusses have been placed and laterally braced
and then repeat
diagonal bracing on groups of four trusses until the trusses are set.
Note: Abatement certification required for this item.
