Investigation Summary
At approximately 2:50 p.m. on November 6, 1995, Employees #1, #2, and #3, of Duggin Excavation, were laying 48 in. drain pipe in a 12 to 15 ft deep by 30 ft long by 10 ft wide excavation. The side walls were almost vertical. A clod of dirt fell off the side wall and knocked down Employee #3, who was in the excavation. Employees #1 and #2 entered the excavation to see if Employee #3 was O.K. He was not injured. When Employees #1 and #2 started to exit the excavation to resume working, the opposite side wall collapsed and buried them. Employees #1, #2, and #3 were killed. No shoring, sloping, or trench shield was being used.
