Investigation Summary
Employees #1 through #3 and #5 were about 11 to 14 feet high, nailing down trusses and installing purlins. Employee #4 was on the ground handing material up to them. The fifty foot scissors-type trusses fell, striking Employees #1 through #5. Employee #1 suffered fractures and was in the hospital for a few days. Employees #2 through #5 suffered bruises and contusions and were released the same day. It had been a very windy day. No equipment was involved or caused the accident. Insufficient cross-bracing and lack of continuous lateral bracing were the causal factors for the truss collapse.
