Abstract: At 12:15 p.m. on December 17, 2018, Employee #1 and a coworker were hand shoveling mud and muck into the bucket of an excavator. The operator of the excavator would then lift the bucket out of the trench to empty it under the direction of the foreman. The operator of the excavator was walking off site to take his lunch break. The foreman asked the operator if he could move the bucket back some. The operator got back into the excavator and began to operate the excavator. When the operator moved the bucket, it pinned the employee who was down in the trench against the side wall of the trench. The employee suffered internal injuries to his abdomen and was killed.
