In this situation, the best option to address the hazard is:
**Access/Egress**
This is critical because employees working in an excavation deeper than 4 feet need a safe and quick means to exit in case of an emergency. While oxygen deficiency and water accumulation can also be concerns in excavations, the primary immediate concern for workers who cannot safely exit the site is ensuring that they have a secure and accessible means of egress.
