Investigation Summary
Employee #1, a 37-year-old construction worker, was working in a 6 to 7 foot trench while a backhoe operator was digging at one end of it. The trench was approximately 32 inches wide and was not shored or sloped. An approximately 5 ft wide section of the west bank caved in and trapped the employee under dirt. Employee #1 suffered cardiac arrest and asphyxiation and died. The soil in the area had been recently trucked in and compacted.
