Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 006A Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.652(g)(1)(ii): Shields were not installed in a manner to restrict lateral or other hazardous movement of the shield in the event of the application of sudden lateral loads: a. On or about October 22, 2019, at the jobsite, employees were exposed to struck-by and caught between hazards while working in a trench box that was not built per the manufactures tabulated data. The side of the trench box was not braced or shored to prevent lateral movement and there was one spreader bar installed on each end of the 6-foot tall trench box, about 24-inches from the bottom, and the south side of the trench box only had two side panels installed. A chain was being used for a two-point lift and one of the attachment points of the chain was near the top of corner post and a spreader bar did not support this section of the trench box.
