Health Act of North Carolina:  The

and a place of employment 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 from/struck by hazards:
a) job site, church sanctuary - On, or about January 14, 2010, two
employees were working at a
height of 10' 2" above wooden floor (inside) and 16' 1" above the ground
(outside); and one
employee was working at a height of approximately 20' above wooden floor

trusses onto the top plate of a church under construction; when the truss
structure they were
working on collapsed due to inadequate lateral and diagonal bracing.

follow the truss installation and
temporary bracing requirements of the Truss Plate Institute that were
provided
by the truss manufacturer and
was in the employer's possession at the job site.
