6705.5
. Regulations of the department requiring the shoring,
bracing, or sloping of excavations, or which contain similar
requirements for excavations, shall only apply to the excavation of
swimming pools where a reasonable examination by a qualified person
reveals recognizable conditions which would expose employees to
injury from possible moving ground. If these conditions are found to
exist with respect to a swimming pool excavation, employees shall not
be permitted to enter the excavation until the condition is abated
or otherwise no longer exists.
