Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 005 Hazard:

29 CFR 1926.21(b)(2): The employer did not instruct each employee in the recognition and avoidance of unsafe conditions and the regulations applicable to his/her environment to control or eliminate any hazards or other exposure to illness or injury: Location: Jobsite in front of 10 - 12 Dartmouth Street, Boston, MA Employees are not trained to recognize and avoid hazards. Employees are regularly exposed to cave-in hazards, hazards from power tools, vehicular traffic and other hazards. The employer routinely fails to instruct each employee in the recognition and avoidance of unsafe conditions associated with trenches, unsupported utilities, tools, traffic and recognized hazards as required by the standard, as demonstrated on or about October 17, 2016 to October 21, 2016, when Anthony Barahona, was not instructed on and protected from such hazards at the site in front of 10 - 12 Dartmouth Street, Boston, MA 02116. To abate this violation, the employer must ensure that employees are trained to recognize and avoid hazards to protect employees. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19, the employer must submit documents describing the steps to instruct each employee in the recognition and avoidance of unsafe conditions.
