Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer did not furnish a place of employment which was free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees. Employees were riding the bucket of the excavator to access and egress the excavation and were using the bucket as a work platform. On December 26, 2007, an employee used the bucket of the excavator as a work platform and to access and exit an excavation that did not have cave-in protection, exposing the employee to the hazards associated with riding or standing in the bucket of an excavator and to a cave-in hazard. Among other methods, feasible and acceptable abatement methods could include, but are not limited to: Following the Equipment Manufacturers Institute (EMI) Safety Manual for Hydraulic Excavators which states the following on page 20, "Never use a bucket for a work platform or personnel carrier." Install appropriate cave-in protection and use a ladder to access the work area. Abatement certification is required for this item in accordance with the requirements of 29 CFR 1903.19(c).
