Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was in an approximately 16 ft deep excavation, installing a drain line with his foreman. The foreman was ascending a ladder in the excavation and Employee #1 was disconnecting a chain that had been attached to a backhoe bucket that was resting on the bottom of the excavation. An excavation wall caved in, striking Employee #1 on the back of his knees. He was knocked forward and his chest struck the corner and side of the backhoe bucket. He was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics. He died of massive intra-thoracic hemorrhaging due to lacerations of the heart and pericardium.
