Investigation Summary
At approximately 12:55 p.m. on April 16, 1992, Employee #1 entered a trench attaching a rigging and shackle to the eye on one side of a backhoe bucket adjustment, as directed by the job foreman, in preparation for placing a concrete pipe into a trench. Employee #1 then placed a gasket on the concrete pipe. As he stepped underneath the pipe, the cast iron ring broke on the bucket adjustment to which the shackle and chain were attached. The pipe fell and struck Employee #1 in the chest, causing traumatic asphyxiation due to chest compression, from which he died.
