The BCSI-B11 Summary Sheet provides guidance to framing crews on how to assess fall hazards while installing trusses on residential construction jobsites. It stresses that trusses are not designed to serve as fall protection anchorage, and highlights additional fall protection requirements under OSHA’s new standards. This bilingual (English/Spanish) document summarizes Section B11 of the BCSI Booklet.

Trusses are engineered components and any damage, jobsite modifications and/or installation errors can adversely affect the structural integrity of the truss. This two-page document provides guidance on how to properly report damage, modifications, or installation errors to the truss manufacturer or design Professional in order to get an approved truss repair detail. It also discusses some of the more common types of damage and modifications involving metal plate connected wood trusses. This summary of section B5 of the BCSI book is full-color with English and Spanish text.

During construction, trusses must not support any loads from equipment or construction materials until the truss assembly is properly restrained and braced. This document provides safe stack heights for several materials and illustrates good and bad loading practices. This summary of section B4 of the BCSI book is full-color with English and Spanish text. The BCSI-B4 Summary Sheet is part of the BCSI B-Series.
