Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
OSH ACT of 1970 Section (5)(a)(1): 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 in that employees were exposed to structural collapse, struck by, and crushing hazards: (a)Signet Construction, LLC at 45240 146th Street, Summit, SD 57266: On or about and at times prior to September 12, 2022, the employer did not ensure that employees were protected from struck-by and crushing hazards while setting the 138-foot-long roof trusses on a commercial property without proper temporary installation of a restraint/bracing system designed by a Registered Design Professional Engineer or permanent installed web bracing required by the design engineer's plans. Employees working on, near, and underneath the truss systems were injured as a result of the structural collapse of the roof structure during truss setting operations. (b)Signet Construction, LLC at 45240 146th Street, Summit, SD 57266: On or about and at times prior to September 12, 2022, the employer did not ensure that employees were protected from struck-by and crushing hazards in that damaged trusses were repaired on site without consultation with truss design engineers. Employees working on, near, and underneath the truss systems were injured as a result of the structural collapse of the roof structure during truss setting operations. (c)Signet Construction, LLC at 45240 146th Street, Summit, SD 57266: On or about and at times prior to September 12, 2022, the employer did not ensure that employees were protected from struck-by and crushing hazards in that trusses were not properly stored. Trusses were placed on an uneven surface and allowed to warp. Employees working on, near, and underneath the truss systems were injured as a result of the structural collapse of the roof structure during truss setting operations. (d)Signet Construction, LLC at 45240 146th Street, Summit, SD 57266: On or about and at times prior to September 12, 2022, the employer did not correctly locate a spreader bar on the trusses and then hoisted the 138-foot-long roof trusses in accordance with the Building Component Safety Information ("BCSI") manual. The trusses were prone to be overstressed during rigging due to out-of-plane buckling (i.e., twisting and bending), likely damaging the wood trusses and resulting in an unsafe condition. Abatement Note: Among other methods, feasible and acceptable methods to correct this hazard are to ensure that all work is conducted in accordance with design criteria established by the Truss Plate Institute - ANSI/TPI 1-2014 and to refer to the Building Component Safety Information ("BCSI") manual for wood truss temporary bracing requirements.
