Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001B Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.651(k)(1): Daily inspections of excavations, the adjacent areas, and protective systems shall be made by a competent person for evidence of a situation that could result in possible cave-ins, indications of failure of protective systems, hazardous atmospheres, or other hazardous conditions. An inspection shall be conducted by the competent person prior to the start of work and as needed throughout the shift. Inspections shall also be made after every rainstorm or other hazard increasing occurrence. These inspections are only required when employee exposure can be reasonably anticipated. On October 25, 2018 an employee was exposed to a struck-by hazard, in that the competent person did not identify the potential for a struck-by hazard while hydrostatically testing a water main inside of a trench.
