Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.651(i)(2): Excavation below the level of the base or footing of any foundation or retaining wall that could be reasonably expected to pose a hazard to the employees was not prohibited. Site: 454 42nd Street Brooklyn, NY. Backyard of site. On or about 12/28/2020. a) Employees working on an existing retaining wall were excavating below the level of the base and footing of the retaining wall. The wall was without any support system or underpinning, the excavation was not in solid rock, nor was the work evaluated by a competent person. The base of the wall was undermined leading to a collapse that exposed workers to crushing and struck-by hazards.
