What this inspection record means

OSHA opens inspections for many reasons — routine scheduling under a national or local emphasis program, an employee complaint or referral, or a follow-up after a reported injury. Opening or conducting an inspection is not itself an allegation or a finding that this employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

General-duty citation text

Labor and Employment Article, Section 5-104(a): 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:
(a)Date of Violation:07/12/06
Condition:Roof trusses were not properly braced in the top cord, web
member, and bottom cord
planes. Short pieces of lumber, "spacers," were used between adjacent
trusses to tie
them together which is not permitted.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this
hazard is to comply with the
manufacturer's recommendations on how to properly brace roof trusses or
follow the Truss Plate Institute's
BCSI-1-03 summary sheet.
The proposed penalty for this item has been reduced by 50for effective
and efficient abatement during
the inspection.
