Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.100(a): Employees working in areas where there was a possible danger of head injury from impact, or falling or flying objects, or from electrical shock and burns, were not protected by protective helmets: a. On or about August 27, 2020, at the jobsite, three employees were kneeling or crouching down while working in a trench, 6 foot 3 inches deep and one of the employees was not wearing a hard hat. Above the employees, a shovel handle was hanging over the edge of the trench wall and a small metal pipe was next to the edge of the trench, thus exposing the unprotected employee's head to struck-by hazards.
