Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003A Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.651(i)(1): Where the stability of adjoining buildings, walls, or other structures was endangered by excavation operations, support systems such as shoring, bracing or underpinning was not provided to ensure the stability of such structures for the protection of employees. The employer is failing to protect the employees from struck-by and crushed-by hazards associated with plumbing and trenching activities. This was most recently documented, on August 14, 2018, at the workplace located at 1400 Terradyne Drive, Andover, Kansas. The employer did not ensure that adjoining structures were shored, braced, or otherwise secured prior to allowing employees to enter the trench.
