Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.651(c)(2): Means of egress from trench excavations. A stairway, ladder, ramp or other safe means of egress shall be located in trench excavations that are 4 feet (1.22 m) or more in depth so as to require no more than 25 feet (7.62 m) of lateral travel for employees. The employer is failing to protect to protect employees from caught in or between and struck by hazards associated with trenching and excavation hazards. This was most recently documented on November 21, 2018 at Aurora St and 56th Ave, Lincoln, Nebraska where employees were working in two unprotected trenches/excavations with no means of access/egress within 25 feet of travel. Abatement certification and abatement documentation is required for this violation. The documentation should include written verification of abatement, applicable measurements or monitoring results, and photographs or videos which you believe will be helpful. The abatement certification sheet is enclosed with the violation.
