A crane was used to facilitate the installation of the trusses.  The crane swung the trusses above the workers as the trusses were lowered to the structure.  The workers were not wearing head protection; therefore, they were exposed to a possible danger of head injury from impact as the trusses were swung into place and lowered to the structure.
