Abstract: Two employees were erecting wooden guardrails around a 10 ft deep pit that measured approximately 78 ft by 78 ft square. They had completed approximately 1 1/2 sides of the four sided pit. Employee #1 attempted to move a piece of pipe that was in the way, but lost his balance and fell into the pit. He suffered torn ligaments and torn muscles to his right shoulder. The employer misjudged a hazardous situation, although the two employees were wearing hard hats, safety shoes, and eye protection.
