Text For Citation: 03 Item/Group: 003A Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.652(c)(1): Designs for timber shoring in trenches were not determined in accordance with the conditions and requirements set forth in appendices A and C to this subpart. Location: Jobsite in front of 10 - 12 Dartmouth Street, Boston, MA Employees are exposed to cave-in hazards while working in a trench where timber shoring is not properly selected, designed or constructed. The employer routinely fails to assure effective protection against cave-in hazards as required by the standard, as demonstrated on or about October 17, 2016 to October 19, 2016, when employees were working in a trench, approximately 12 feet below grade, where timber shoring was not designed according to appendix C of 29 CFR 1926, Subpart P at the site in front of 10 - 12 Dartmouth Street, Boston, MA 02116. The company, Atlantic Drain Service Company, Inc. was previously cited for a similar Willful violation of this occupational safety and health standard, which was contained in OSHA Inspection 310673454, Citation 2, Item 1, issued on November 26, 2007, with respect to a workplace located at the corner of Boylston Street and Charles Street, Boston, MA 02116, which became a final order on January 18, 2008.
