Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.651(c)(2): A stairway, ladder, ramp or other safe means of egress is not located in trench excavations that are 4 feet (1.22m) or more in depth so as to require no more than 25 feet (7.62m) of lateral travel for employees: (a) A4S LLC dba A4S Construction: The employer is failing to ensure that workers assigned to work in trenches are provided a safe means of egress at least every 25 feet while working in trenches greater than 4 feet deep. This violation occurred on November 16, 2021 at 0084 Berlin Placer Road in Breckenridge CO 80424 when employees working in a trench were exposed to cave-in hazards when the exit ladder was approximately 90 lateral feet from the work being performed. To abate this hazard the employer must ensure that safe egress is available within 25 lateral feet of travel of work operations being conducted in the trench.
