General-duty citation text
29 CFR 1926.754(a): Structural stability was not maintained at all times during the erection process. On or about March 20, 2015 and in times prior thereto, a 50 foot steel building was being constructed without a site-specific erection plan and temporary bracing equivalent in strength to the completed structure. This condition created a fall from elevation hazard to iron workers, located at the construction site. Workers were also exposed to the hazards of being struck by steel in the event the ratchet devices used as braces failed.
