General-duty citation text
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to falling into an unshored trench: a) On or about March 25, 1993, employees were observed climbing onto the koetring excavator bucket. Employees were then lowered into an unshored trench that was filling up with storm drain water. Employees were observed working in the trench while standing on the up turned bucket. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to implement a trench entry procedure which includes, but is not limited to: 1. Properly trained employees and enforce the use of ladders in trenches. 2. Instruct excavation equipment operators in the safe operation of the equipment and enforce that policy.
