Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.652(a)(1): Each employee in an excavation was not protected from cave-ins by an adequate protective system designed in accordance with 29 CFR 1926.652 (b) or (c). (a) SEMA Construction, Inc. at 0 Compass Drive Erie, CO 80516: On 9/8/2021 and at times prior, the employer did not ensure that adequate precautions had been taken to protect employees who were tasked to enter a trench. Two employees were connecting two sections of a water main in trenches of approximately 9 feet deep and 46 feet long. The trench did not have a trenchbox, shoring or adequate sloping or benching. This condition exposed employees to cave-in and struck-by hazards.
