Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 002 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). The employer is failing to protect employees from struck-by and collapse hazards associated with trench work. This was most recently documented at the residential construction site located at 730 E. Magnolia in Salina, KS, on January 06, 2023, when the employer did not ensure employees were protected by benching, sloping, shoring, shielding, or other adequate cave-in protection while working in a trench that was approximately 9 feet deep. The trench collapsed, resulting in the engulfment of two employees.
