Investigation Summary
On November 25, 1988, Employee #1 and a coworker of Protective Engineering Alarm Service were installing a security alarm system that required that underground wiring be installed around a yard. At the close of the work day, between 4:30 p.m. and 5:00 p.m., the employees had just completed installing a card-access reader at the front entrance gate. Employee #1 was instructed to make sure that the covers for the junction box access holes for the underground wiring were on before he left the site. The access holes, located throughout the yard, were 14-in.-diameter steel pipes inserted 25 to 39 in. into the ground. Each had a steel cover that could be removed. At the first hole he checked, Employee #1 put his arms, head, and shoulders into the hole to reach the box at the bottom of the hole, and then could not extricate himself. He was found the next day by the employer, who removed Employee #1 from the hole. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
