Investigation Summary
At 12:00 p.m. on April 19, 2016, Employee #1 and a coworker were removing dirt from a trench that measured 10.25 feet deep. While Employee #1 used a shovel to scoop the dirt from the trench, the coworker was instructed to lower the bucket of a backhoe into the trench, where the dirt would be placed. As the coworker operated the backhoe controls, he unintentionally maneuvered the bucket in a forward direction, striking Employee #1 and pinning him between the bucket and the trench wall. Employee #1 died as a result of his injuries. The incident investigation revealed that the coworker was untrained in the operation of the backhoe.
