Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 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 was not provided by placing and keeping such materials or equipment at least 2 feet (.61 m) 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: This violation was observed on September 6, 2018, when at least two (2) employees were exposed to struck-by hazards while working at the base of a trench more than 7 feet in depth and where the excavated soil was not kept at least 2-feet back from the edge.
