(AP) &#8211; Federal labor officials have cited a North Dakota sand and gravel mine for the eighth time for allowing employees to work under risky conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Department of Labor&#8217;s Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited Northern Excavating Co. in Jamestown. Officials say mine operators allowed employees to work at great risk in trenches without cave-in protection and a safe way to exit the trench.<\/p>\n<p>OSHA says the company has been placed in the agency&#8217;s Severe Violator Enforcement Program for its continual failure to protect workers from cave-in hazards. The company has been cited eight times since 1997 and has failed to pay penalties stemming from a 2011 inspection.<\/p>\n<p>Northern Excavating employs about 25 workers.
