Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.651(g)(1)(i): Where oxygen deficiency (atmospheres containing less than 19.5 percent oxygen) or a hazardous atmosphere exists or could reasonably be expected to exist, such as in excavations in landfill areas or excavations in areas where hazardous substances are stored nearby, the atmospheres in the excavation shall be tested before employees enter excavations greater than 4 feet (1.22 m) in depth. The employer did not ensure the atmosphere was tested before employees entered the Gateway Storm Pond excavation. This condition exposed employees to health hazards.
