Investigation Summary
At 12:34 p.m., on April 4, 2005, Employee #1, who was employed by Apex International Development Corp., was working in a 2-feet by 18-in. by 7-in. trench, adjacent to a 7-ft by 60-ft block wall, to begin footing for the new wall. Because there was no foundation, support, or bracing system provided to prevent the neighboring block wall from collapsing, when Employee #1 began digging the footing, the wall fell on him, resulting in a back injury and a broken pelvis. He was taken to Holy Cross Hospital and hospitalized for more than a month.
