Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.651(c)(2):A means of egress from trench excavations. A stairway, ladder, ramp or other safe means of egress was not located in trench excavations more than 4 feet (1.22 m) or more in depth so as to require no more than 25 feet (7.62 m) of lateral travel for employees. On or about July 27, 2023, the employer did not provide a safe means of egress in an excavation at least 4 feet deep that did not require employees to travel more than 25 feet laterally. This condition exposed employees to a cave-in hazard.
