Investigation Summary
At approximately 4:30 p.m. on November 29, 1986, Employee #1 was preparing to lay a length of sewer pipe in a trench. The 17 1/2 ft deep trench was 50 ft to 60 ft long and 17 ft wide at the surface, narrowing to 3 to 4 ft at the bottom. Its walls were not shored, nor was a trench box being used. The north face of the trench caved in, burying Employee #1 in a standing position with about 3 ft of dirt above his head. He died before he could be rescued.
