Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.651(j)(2):Employees were not protected from excavated or other materials or equipment that could pose a hazard by falling or rolling into excavations. Protection by placing and keeping such materials or equipment at least 2 feet from the edge of excavations, or by the use of retaining devices that are sufficient to prevent materials or equipment from falling or rolling into excavations, or by a combination of both if necessary was not provided. On or about June 13, 2023, the employer did not place or keep materials or equipment at least 2 feet from the edge of excavations, or use retaining devices that are sufficient to prevent materials or equipment from falling or rolling into excavations. This exposed employees to cave-in hazards.
