Investigation Summary
At 2:15 p.m. on March 9, 2018, an employee was attempting to clear debris from a trash chute while standing on debris in a 30 yard dumpster (measuring 71 inches tall, 21 feet 11 inches long, and 93 inches deep). As the employee was moving debris from around the trash chute, he stepped backwards into a void and fell backwards over the edge of the dumpster. The employee landed on the asphalt head first and suffered a severe head trauma and fractured vertebrae, resulting in his death.
