The company was surveying for the trench centerline. While walking along the edge of the trench, Employee #1 tripped over a rock and fell to the ground, fracturing his left wrist and left ankle. He then rolled into the more than 8 ft deep trench. He was not sure whether he fractured his ankle when he fell or when he rolled into the trench.
