One month later: company still has no cave-in protection
OSHA has cited Taylor’s Drain and Sewer Service in Lincoln, Neb. for ten safety violations after a worker was buried waist deep when a 9’ trench he was working in collapsed. The worker suffered a serious injury in the March, 2013 incident and required surgery.
The company did not abate a similar hazard at a different job site; in April, two Taylor workers at another location were observed in a 10-foot-deep trench without protection. The company was installing water and sewer lines at both locations.
