Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.651(j)(2): Protection was not provided by placing and keeping excavated or other materials or equipment at least 2 feet (.61m) from the edge of excavations, or by the use of retaining devices that were sufficient to prevent materials or equipment from falling or rolling into excavations, or by a combination of both if necessary. The employer is failing to protect employees from struck-by and collapse hazards associated with trenching activities. This was most recently documented on October 14, 2021, at the residential construction site located at the corner of SW Valley Drive and SW Meadowood Drive, Grain Valley, Missouri. Employees were working in a trench with the spoil pile placed within two feet of the edge of the excavation and there was no use of a retaining device.
