Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.651(k)(1): An inspection of the excavations, the adjacent areas, and protective systems was not conducted by the competent person prior to the start of work and as needed throughout the shift. LOCATION: The Jobsite located at 19 Newport Ave. On or about June 29th, 2023, the employees of Sean Farrell Excavation were allowed to be exposed to cave-in hazards while working in a trench without cave-in protection when the workers were at a depth greater than 5 five (5) feet, a ladder or other egress was not readily available, and the spall pile was immediately adjacent to the trench the worker was in. This condition would have been prevented by an inspection done by the competent person on site.
