Investigation Summary
At approximately 2:40 p.m. on May 28, 1998, Employee #1 was working at a water pipeline construction project along Highway 89 in South Lake Tahoe, CA. He drilled holes across a 5 to 6 ft diameter boulder, then inserted a splitting tool and applied pressure, breaking the rock as expected. Employee #1 was standing on an adjacent boulder when his splitting tool then dropped into a crack and pulled him off balance. He slipped into the space between the two boulders as the split half of the drilled rock slowly rolled backward and pinned him. Employee #1 was taken by ambulance to Barton Memorial Hospital, where he was treated for deep bruises to both upper thighs and admitted overnight for observation.
