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; the
employees were exposed to being struck by roof truss due to the improper
rigging of the
wood roof trusses:
a) 604 Mission Bay Dr., Satellite Beach - Employees were exposed to being
struck by
roof trusses while the crane was hoisting and moving the trusses into
position. The 54

of a double
sling on a truss over 30 feet could cause lateral bending. While a truss
is being
hoisted and moved the wood truss could break thereby striking an employee.

would be
to use a spreader bar or stiff back in accordance with the Building
Component Safety
Information, Guide to Good Practice for Handling, Installing, Restraining
