Investigation Summary
TWO CONSTRUCTION EMPLOYEES WERE LAYING 8 INCH EBS PIPE IN AN 11 FOOT DEEP TRENCH. THE SOIL WHERE THE TRENCH WAS DUG WAS MOSTLY ROCK OR VERY HARD CLAY. ALTHOUGH ONE EMPLOYEE DID NOTICE SOME FRACTURED SHALE, HE DID NOT BRING IT TO ANYONE'S ATTENTION. EMPLOYEE #1 WAS KILLED AND EMPLOYEE #2 WAS HOSPITALIZED WHEN A POCKET OF FRACTURED SHALE BROKE OUT OF THE NORTH SIDE OF THE TRENCH. THE TRENCH WAS NOT SLOPED SUFFICIENTLY TO PREVENT THE COLLAPSE OF THIS FRACTURED MATERIAL.
