29 CFR 1926.651(j)(2): Protection was not provided by placing and keeping excavated or other materials or equipment at least 2 feet (.61m) from the edge of excavations, or by the use of retaining devices that were sufficient to prevent materials or equipment from falling or rolling into excavations, or by a combination of both if necessary. On or about 11/4/2022, at the job site along Rogers Avenue in Fort Smith, Arkansas three employees were working in an excavation, conducting a repair to an electrical distribution line. The spoil was staged at the roadside edge of the excavation, between the excavation and Rogers Avenue.
