An employee used an excavator to tear down the concrete walls of an approximately twelve foot deep basement. Following this, the north wall and significant sections of the east and west walls were removed and unsupported vertical earth was exposed. An employee at the worksite had not received effective training regarding excavation hazards, including but not limited to cave-in or collapse hazards. This condition exposed the employee to an excavation hazard.
