Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.21(b)(2): The employer did not instruct each employee in the recognition and avoidance of unsafe condition(s) and the regulation(s) applicable to his work environment to control or eliminate any related hazard(s) or other exposure to illness or injury: (a) Falcon Forming, Inc., @ 8161 E. 33rd. Ave., Denver. CO: On or before February 21, 2012, the exposing employer did not ensure each employee performing activities in the unprotected section of the basement foundation excavation was provided safety training regarding the associated hazards and be to recognize an unsafe situation that could have resulted in a possible cave-in that, the excavated 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. (b) Falcon Forming, Inc., @ 8161 E. 33rd. Ave., Denver. CO: On or before February 21, 2012, the exposing employer did not ensure each employee performing activities associated with basement foundation excavation was provided safety training regarding hazards and to be able to recognize an unsafe work practice or condition(s). On February 20, 2012, an employee was carrying a heavy bundle of re-bar dowels on his shoulder, threw it into the excavation and fell into an unguarded sharp protruding steel form stake, which was sticking out approximately 7 inches and was not capped or guarded to eliminate the hazard of impalement. The employee sustained a head injury resulted in his death.
