Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.651(k)(2): Where there was evidence of a situation that could result in a possible cave-in or other hazardous condition the competent person did not remove exposed employees until necessary precautions could be taken to ensure their safety. (a) On or about May 15, 2019, employees were exposed to cave-in hazards while conducting pipe connections in an unprotected trench. The competent person determined that the trench required cave-in protection, but failed to have the trench protection installed in all portions where employees were exposed to cave-in hazards nor had a ladder in the trench for employees to exit the trench.
