Investigation Summary
At 11:19 a.m. on July 25, 2017, Employee #1, employed by a construction company, was working at the construction site for a two-story residential structure. He was at the base of a 10-foot excavation and operating a jackhammer to remove rock from the excavation's face/side wall. Loose soil and rock caved in from the face, striking and burying Employee #1. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was removed from the excavation and transported to the hospital. He was admitted and treated for multiple fractures of his vertebrae and trauma to his right finger.
