Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.23(a)(5): Every pit and trapdoor floor opening, infrequently used, was not guarded by a floor opening cover of standard strength and construction. While the cover is not in place, the pit or trap opening was not constantly attended by someone or shall be protected on all exposed sides by removable standard railings. The employer is failing to protect employees from fall hazards associated with working near open boot pits. This was most recently evident during the inspection of the facility located at 17700 South 1st Street, Martell, NE; where the employer has employees performing maintenance on equipment such as legs and augers located in and near the east side receiving boot pit. Instances include but are not limited to: i. The boot pit to the east side leg is approximately 10 feet deep on three sides without guard railing to protect employees from the fall hazards. ii. The trench from the east leg boot pit to the receiving pit has an area that is 37 inches wide by 76 inches long by 70 inches deep left uncovered and without guard railing to protect employees from the fall hazards.
