Abstract: At 2:59 p.m. on December 17, 2019, Employees #1 and #2, employed by a construction company, were working inside a 32-inch deep trench and using shovels to dig under a concrete foundation slab/wall at a residential structure. The concrete slab, which measured 8 inch thick by 12 foot long by 24 foot wide, became dislodged from the surrounding soil and collapsed onto the two employees. Employee #1 was pinned between the concrete slab and the trench's opposite dirt wall. Employee #2 was pinned face down between the concrete slab and the ground. Emergency services arrived, determined that Employee #2 had no pulse, and resuscitated him. Both the employees were transported to the hospital and admitted.
