Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 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 was not protected on all exposed sides by removable standard railings. The employer is failing to protect employees from fall hazards associated with uncovered pits. The most recent occurrence of this was found at the facility located at 9620 S. Railroad Ave, Bridgeport, NE 69336 where the employer has employees working around the top of the uncovered pits while they unload beans and perform maintenance on the drag conveyors.
