OSHA opens inspections for many reasons — routine scheduling under a national or local emphasis program, an employee complaint or referral, or a follow-up after a reported injury. Opening or conducting an inspection is not itself an allegation or a finding that this employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

General-duty citation text
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 employees were exposed to crushing injuries: Jobsite, 278 Strayer Lane, Summerhill, PA: On or before 11/21/2011, employees were setting 80 foot long wooden roof trusses on a pole building, and the trusses were not adequately braced at the top cord and bottom cord, and the trusses were erected without the advice of a registered professional engineer on bracing and securing the trusses. These conditions caused the roof trusses to collapse injuring an employee. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable means of abatement is to follow the recommendations of a registered professional engineer, component manufacturer, along with the Wood Council of America and Truss Plate Institute guidelines outlined in Building Safety Information, BCSI-B1 Summary Sheet-Guide for handling, installing, restraining and bracing trusses, dated 2008, and the BCSI-B10 Summary Sheet-Post Frame Truss Installation, Restraint and Bracing, dated 2008.
