General-duty citation text
29 CFR 1926.651(k)(2): Where the competent person finds evidence of a situation that could result in a possible cave-in, indications of failure of protective systems, hazardous atmospheres, or other hazardous conditions, exposed employees shall be removed from the hazardous area until the necessary precautions have been taken to ensure their safety. (a) EDGE Contracting, Inc. @ 7145 Raleigh Street, Westminster CO 80030: On and before April 6th, 2015, the employer did not ensure that the competent person onsite would observe all safety requirements prior to allowing employees to enter the trench. Five employees, including the competent person, were observed working in the trench without cave-in protection. The trench measured approximately 5 feet deep on the west side and 8 feet deep on the east side of the trench. This condition exposed employees to a potential cave-in hazard associated with Class B soil and no protective system in place.
