In addition, this 10-foot long by 3-foot 8-inch wide trench did not have the excavated soil pile at least 2 feet back from the edge along the western wall and had a 6-foot step ladder, used in the folded position and not extending 3 feet above the trench's top surface, for access, exposing employees to cave-in, struck-by, and fall hazards. Abatement certification required within 10 days after abatement date. The certification shall include a statement that abatement is complete, date and method of abatement, and state employees and their representatives were informed of this abatement.
