Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard: STRUCK BY
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The 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: A) Employees were exposed to being struck by building components due to structure collapse at the Airside Building at the Midfield Terminal Project of the Greater Pittsburgh International Airport in that: 1) The roof beam RB-35 at column line B20 failed in flexural due to the inadequate development length of its bottom bars marked #701. 2) The flexural reinforcement of two #7 bars of beam RB-35 to support the construction loads during erection was marginal as per ACI 31B-83. 3) The lap splice length of #7 bars marked #701 and #702 did not meet the ACI design criteria. 4) Four #8 bars for the longitudinal bottom reinforcement of beam RB-35 were not properly spaced by the precast manufacturer. 5) Field examination of the embedded reinforcing steel had indicated a series of inconsistencies in placement of bars.
