(Indian River State College, n.d.-a)
Identify and describe the caught-in or -between hazard in this photo. Move the arrow over the photo to indicate the location of the hazard.
The operators is caught-in the heavy trailer which is likely to tip. He can be pinned between the heavy trailer
and the chassis of the truck. The injuries can that can happen is bones breakage, suffocation and death. The failure of the
hydraulic system can cause the heavy load to tip .When the hydraulic bed is being lowered the person is in danger of being caught-in between
What OSHA construction standard(s) could be cited?
Industrial trucks (fork lifts) meet ANSI B56.1-1969 1926.602(c)(1)(vi)
Appropriate PPE used for specific operation 1926.28(a)
What would you recommend to correct the hazard?
Do not operate between unsupported hydraulic system
Ensure after the support, the machine is de-energized to prevent unintentional start
When operating under heavy load give extra support to the hydraulic system to prevent falling
Do not work or carry out inspection in between dump box and the frame of a dump track

Figure 2
(Indian River State College, n.d.-b)
Identify and describe the caught-in or -between hazard in this photo. Move the arrows over the photo to indicate the locations of the hazard.
The caught-in between in this case happens due the opened or exposed moving parts. Placing hand or operating the machine
while the moving parts is exposed is a hazards. When the machine is not fitted with lock and tag out system they can start automatically and
expose the operator to injuries. The system has inadequate guards thus increase the hazard level
What OSHA construction standard(s) could be cited?
Guarding moving parts of machinery 1926.300(b)(2)
Power operated tool guards 1926.300(b)(1)
What would you recommend to correct the hazard?
Use machines which are properly guarded
Do wear loose clothes when operating moving machines
All moving parts must have safety guards
The machine should be de-energized during maintenance

Identify and describe the caught-in or -between hazards in this photo. Move the arrows over the photo to indicate the location of the hazards.
The worker in the trench is exposed to hazards of potential cave. He is also caught-In between the unprotected sides of the trenches.
The materials overhead expose the person working in the trench to falling objects. The operation or working near a structure is dangerous as it
previously disturbed the soil
What OSHA construction standard(s) could be cited?
Protective Systems for trenching/excavation 1926.652(a)(1)
Daily inspection of physical components of trench and protection systems 1926.651(k)(1)
Spoil pile protection 651(j)(2)
High-visibility garments when exposed to vehicular traffic 1926.651(d)
What would you recommend to correct the hazard?
According to OSHA, workers inside trenches or excavation should be protected from potential cave-in
In this trench there are no adequate slope or shore
There is no protective system in this trench which
According to OSHA the maximum travel distance to the ladder position should be 25 feet's
When working in a trench, the side who have a slope to ensure the wall does not collapse. This angle depends on the type of soil.
Use trench box, this does not prevent the collapse but it protects the workers working in the trench when cave-in occurs.
The workers should construction shoring to prevent the wall from collapsing,
Do not work in trenches ensure all protective systems are in place
The employers should ensure there is easy way out of the trench
When working in confined space, there should be adequate instruction to ensure safety

Figure 4
(Occupational Safety & Health Administration, n.d.=d)
Identify and describe the caught-in or -between hazard in this photo. Move the arrow over the photo to indicate the location of the hazard.
The caught-in between in this case is caving-in of the wall, and burying people in the trench.
The hip of soil block the visibility of the pit further exposing machine and people to the risk of fall
What OSHA construction standard(s) could be cited?
Access/Egress from trench/excavation 1926.651(c)(2)
Guarding wall openings 1926.500(c)(1)
What would you recommend to correct the hazard(s)?
The site should be barricaded
Heavy machines should operate near this trench, they can cause cave-in or possibly fall in the excavations
The pit should be inspect and the type of soil determined to ascertain degree of collapse.
Trained personal should identify the potential hazards before operations.
When operating in open pit, there is need to barricading
Heavy vehicle should come near the edge of the trench or pit
OSHA rules demand inspection of opening, trenches and pit before proceeding with work

(Indian River State College, n.d.-e)
Identify and describe the caught-in or -between hazard in this photo. Move the arrow over the photo to indicate the location of the hazard.
The employee can be caught-in between the wall and the track.
The shovel is also act as tipping hazard
What OSHA construction standard(s) could be cited?
General Housekeeping 1926.25(a)
Serious hazard not covered by specific standard 1926.5(a)(1)
Horns provided on bi-directional equipment 1926.602(a)(9)(i)
Specifications for using vehicles with obstructed views to rear 1926.601(b)(4)
What would you recommend to correct the hazard?
Never place yourself between moving parts and permanent structure
When working on a machine always ensure the operators of the machine can see u
All work at a safe distance from the moving machine.
