Investigation Summary
At 1:30 p.m. on April 21, 2020, Employee #1 and a coworker were framing a new two-story townhome. An open 24-inch-deep utility trench was dug near where their lumber was staged. As Employee #1 and the coworker were retrieving lumber, Employee #1 inadvertently stepped into the open trench. Employee #1 did not fall or sustain any apparent injury and stepped out of the trench and continued to work. The employer reported to DOSH April 30th after being informed by Employee #1 that he had surgery on his knee due to an infection, and said it was related to stepping into the trench. Employee #1 had been hospitalized with an abscess of the right knee region and a MRSA infection.
