Investigation Summary
At 10:55 a.m. on October 6, 2015, Employee # 1, from a construction company, was working as a laborer on a residential construction site. Employee #1 was part of a crew assigned to install drainage pipes inside a trench. A co-worker was operating a bucket excavator above the trench and moving the excavated soil to the left side of his equipment in preparation for the final slope grade of the worksite. After dumping a bucket of soil materials, the co-worker swung the excavator boom to the right to pick up another bucket of soil. During this process he did not have a clear view of the employee on foot. Employee # 1 walked near the reach of the excavator and was struck in the head by the moving excavator bucket. He fell to the ground. Emergency personnel were immediately contacted and the employee was pronounced dead at the scene.
