Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.652(a)(1): Each employee in an excavation was not protected from cave-ins by an adequate protective system designed in accordance with 29 CFR 1926.652 (b) or (c): (a) Krohmer Plumbing, Inc. at Vincent Place & South Miller Avenue, Mitchell, SD 57301: On or about and at times prior to November 20, 2019, the employer did not ensure that employees conducting work in an excavation were protected from cave-in, in that the excavation was approximately 9 feet deep and lacked an adequate protective system such as sloping, benching, or shield system. This condition exposed employees to struck-by hazards associated with a trench wall collapse.
