SCRR 71-112A: Failed to furnish a place of employment which is free of recognized hazards which may cause death or serious physical harm to his employees and comply with this regulation and other occupational safety and health rules and regulations promulgated under Chapter 15 of Title 41, Code of Laws, State of South Carolina, 1976, as amended, as follows: A. Employer knew or should have known that employees erecting 57 metal plate connected wooden trusses at Zion Pilgrim Church in excess of 10 feet were exposed to the hazard of being struck by trusses toppling and falling to the floor below due to top cord lateral braces only, using 25 1/2" space blocks (purling) being used as temporary bracing. A feasible and useful method to correct this hazard, among other methods, is to follow the manufacturers instruction and recommendations in the HIB-91 Summary Sheet-Commentary and Recommendations for handling, installing and bracing metal plate connected wood trusses or equivalent, and use bracing such as but not limited to top cord lateral braces, lateral bracing, bottom cord diagonal bracing, top cord diagonal bracing, and proper building interior and exterior ground bracing.
