Excavation Hazards Prove Costly for Enid Contractor

摘要

An alleged failure to protect employees from potential trenching and excavation hazards could cost Luckinbill Inc. $142,000 in proposed OSHA penalties. The enforcement action follows an investigation at two separate worksites near Drummond.rnOSHA's Oklahoma City area office began its investigation March 30 and found employees working inside a trench without adequate protection from cave-ins at the company's worksite on Highway 22, north of Drummond. Workers were found replacing valves and piping for water lines at depths of 8 and 10 feet in excavations that were not properly shored.
