Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.651(i)(3): Where sidewalks, pavements, or appurtenant structures are undermined, a support system or another method is not provided to protect employees from the possible collapse of such structures. (a) The employer does not ensure adjacent structures are supported when undermined by their excavations. This was most recently observed on March 22, 2017, where two employees of Titan Technologies, Inc. were not protected from a possible collapse of a detached garage that had been undercut approximately 1' deep and 3' wide while working in an excavation of Type C soil measuring approximately 10' wide, 13' long, and 7.2' deep located at 307 North 2nd Street, Boise, ID 83702. There was a visible fissure near the undercut, within 3' of where work was being performed. NOTE: Abatement certification AND supporting documentation are required for this item.
