Investigation Summary
At 10:45 a.m. on February 8, 2017, Employee #1 was entering a hole to locate a water line for repair. The employee was using a four foot long probe for locating the underground piping. As the employee stepped into the hole, the locating device fell, and the weight of the employee's body forced the probe into the employee's groin area, through his left scrotum and into the pelvic bone. He was hospitalized for his injuries.
