• Description:
  Overview: The project involved in this case study was the construction of a house in Roanoke, Virginia. Context: The owner contracted the builder and architect early on to design and construct a three story, four bedroom house. The builder was responsible for hiring subs. The scope of this project included excavating for the foundation and substructure, installation of floor decks, and framing the exterior walls and roof. Objectives: With any standard residential project, hazards are present from the first excavation up to the final punchlist. The builder is often responsible for supervising the site and ensuring that the work is being done safely. With the excavation for the house foundation, the builder had to make sure that there would be no risk of the sides collapsing or falls from ground level. The builder also had to ensure that workers installing the floors and wooden wall frames were adequately protected from falls and collapsing structures. This was also important during the installation of the roof trusses. [Description provided by NIOSH]
