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 fall and struck by hazards: Dollar General Store Jobsite, Staunton IL, on or about August 14, 2008, the bracing of long span supporting trusses was inadequate resulting in the collapse of the truss system during installation. The wooden trusses were not installed following the recommendations of the Wooden Truss Council of America's Summary Sheets BCSI B2 "Truss Installation & Temporary Restraint/Bracing" in the following area: (1) the lack of temporary bracing of the trusses was contrary to the recommendations of the BCSI, and (2) the trusses were hoisted on to the roof not following the recommendations of the Wooden Truss Council of America's Summary Sheets BCSI B1 "Guide for Handling, Installing, Restraining, and Bracing of Trusses" in that trusses were set using a 26 foot long stiff-back, which was not at least 2/3 to 3/4 the length of the trusses being set. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method of abatement would be (1) to comply with the BCSI B2 Summary Sheet "Truss Installation & Temporary Restraint/Bracing" and follow the temporary bracing design recommendations which require consultation with a qualified professional engineer for all temporary bracing systems for truss spans over 60 feet and (2) to comply with B-1 requiring the use of a stiff-arm/spreader beam which follows the recommendations of the B-1 Summary Sheet "Guide for Handling, Installing, Restraining, and Bracing of Trusses" by using a stiff-back or spreader beam which was 2/3 to 3/4 the length of the trusses. ABATEMENT DOCUMENTATION IS REQUIRED FOR THIS ITEM IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF 29 CFR 1903.19(d).S
