Investigation Summary
At 10:45 a.m. on February 18, 2019, Employee #1 and coworkers, employed by a water/sewer line construction company, were working inside a trench that measured 7 feet deep, 7 feet wide, and 30 feet long. They were installing fittings to connect a residential sewer line to the main sewer line. The trench was not shored or benched to prevent collapse. A vertical trench wall collapsed, striking and engulfing Employee #1. Emergency services transported Employee #1 to the hospital, where he was admitted for treatment of injuries to the lungs, four ribs, and the right shoulder.
