Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.21(b)(2): The employer did not instruct each employee in the recognition and avoidance of unsafe conditions and the regulations applicable to his/her environment to control or eliminate any hazards or other exposure to illness or injury: The employer is failing to ensure that employees are trained to recognize engulfment hazards associated with working in an excavation. The most recent occurrence was evident during the inspection conducted on December 12, 2017 at a jobsite located at 20619 Pine St, Elkhorn, NE 68022. The employer failed to train employees in the hazards associated with working in excavations that are outlined in Subpart P of 29 CFR 1926. This training would allow employees to recognize unsafe conditions and take appropriate actions in order to eliminate them. Employees were observed working in one trench on the east side of Pine St and another trench on the west side of Pine St.
