Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was working in a 4 ft 6 in. deep by 30 ft long by 11 ft wide trench that ran alongside a 4 ft wide concrete sidewalk in type C soil. He was squaring up the trench walls and removing excess dirt from the north wall when he inadvertently undermined the sidewalk. The downward pressure of the sidewalk on the trench wall caused it to collapse, trapping Employee #1's feet and ankles. The trench collapse further undermined the sidewalk, and a 20 ft section of sidewalk crumbled and fell into the trench. Employee #1 sustained fatal crushing injuries to his head.
