Investigation Summary
On November 5, 1996, Employee #1 and a coworker, of S.F. Construction, were tying a fitting onto a 14 ft deep irrigation line. One side of the excavation collapsed, burying Employee #1. He was extricated by his coworker and was airlifted to Loma Linda Medical Center for treatment of major back injuries. The excavation did not have any shoring to support the side walls, nor was it adequately sloped.
