WWTA ALBERTA

CODE OF STANDARD PRACTICE

FOR WOOD TRUSS MANUFACTURERS

PREFACE

The purpose of this Code is to assure that all WWTA Members' performance is uniform and to promote a clear understanding between the Alberta truss fabricators and the specifying community, erection industry and its clients. The Code covers all facets of the truss development process from design to proper installation, the Overall Job Process (OJP). We endeavor to define the performance of the OJP that are under our control such as component design, manufacturing, marking, documentation and delivery; and to positively influence the other parts of the OJP that we don't fully control, such as the product specification and installation. The Code is a compilation of usual industry practices relating to the design, fabrication and erection of wood trusses. These practices will evolve over a period of time and will be subject to change as improved methods replace those of today. The Code will be revised whenever a number of changes will require a new edition. Western Wood Truss Association of Alberta
