Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.651(j)(2): Protection was not provided by placing and keeping excavated other materials or equipment at least 2 feet (.61m) from the edge of excavation, 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: (a) Falcon Forming, Inc., @ 8161 E. 33rd. Ave., Denver. CO: On or before February 21, 2012, the exposing employer did not ensure that each employee working in the unprotected vertically-walled excavation was protected from a possible excavation cave-in while working on footers inside the foundation/basement excavation. The spoil pile was not kept at least 2 feet from the edge of the vertically-walled excavation at the north side, which measured depth was between 61 and 64, approximately 48 feet long and lacked any protective system, such as appropriate sloping, benching, or shield systems. This condition exposed employees to the hazard of the spoil pile falling into the excavation while conducting work inside in that section of the excavation.
