Abstract: At 11:16 a.m. on January 18, 2017, an employee was working inside a trench to expand the excavated area at a residential property. The trench measured 2.5 feet deep by 16 feet long and was located in front of a 4 feet tall brick retaining wall. As the employee worked to level the bottom of the trench, the retaining wall collapsed. The wall struck one of the employee's legs, resulting in fractures to his ankle and leg.
