Florida Contractor Fined After 67-Year-Old Worker Fatally Injured by Collapsing Roof Truss
ORANGE CITY, Fla. — An Orlando, Fla. framing contractor's failure to comply with building code requirements and a roof truss manufacturer's engineering specification caused roof trusses to collapse and fatally injure a 67-year-old worker at an Orange City building site on Nov. 8, 2021.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) cited Top Rank Construction for failing to follow required safety standards and ensure the roof trusses were braced to resist buckling, leaning or collapsing.
