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 hazards, caught between, and struck-by hazards caused by the overloading and subsequent collapse of parallel chord roof trusses: a)20 Farley Road, Brunswick, Maine - On 11/13/08 a stack of 4 foot by 8 foot by 3/4 inch Advantec building material was placed on parallel chord, metal plate connected wood roof trusses that had been set and braced. The stack was placed at the north end of the building near the center of the trusses' span. The height of the stack was approximately 33.75 inches, exceeding the maximum sheathing stack height of 16 inches specified by BCSI-B4 Summary Sheet established by the Wood Truss Council of America (WTCA), representing the Structural Building Components Industry. The excessive stack height resulted in a stack weight of approximately 3546 pounds. Upon releasing the stack from the crane slings, the trusses collapsed and the two employees fell approximately 17 feet to the ground below. b)20 Farley Road, Brunswick, Maine - On 11/13/08 a stack of 4 foot by 8 foot by 3/4 inch Advantec building material was placed on parallel chord, metal plate connected wood roof trusses that had been set and braced. The stack was placed at the southwest corner of the building. The height of the stack was approximately 33.75 inches, exceeding the maximum sheathing stack height of 16 inches specified by BCSI-B4 Summary Sheet established by the Wood Truss Council of America (WTCA), representing the Structural Building Components Industry. The excessive stack height resulted in a stack weight of approximately 3546 pounds. Note: Feasible and acceptable abatement methods to correct this hazard would be to follow the Wood Truss Council of America's BCSI-B4 Summary Sheet that was provided to Bilodeau Drywall, the truss installer, upon receipt of the trusses at the construction site. The summary sheet specifies precautions to be taken to prevent overloading parallel chord, metal plate connected wood trusses.
