Description:
|
This is an excavation that is approximately eight feet deep and 72 feet long. It is approximately four feet wide at the bottom, and eight feet wide at the top. The excavation is not properly shored, sloped or otherwise protected to prevent a cave-in hazard. The excavated material (spoil) is not stored and maintained at least two feet away from the edge of the excavation. There is not a safe means to egress or exit the excavation that is within 25 feet of the employees.

A back-hoe was placed on top of the trench box. Notice the wooden mats in between. We were not able to cite because the calculations made demonstrated that the wooden mats and the ternch box were able to support the load. Manufacturers of trench boxes were reluctant to cooperate.
