Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was inside a 2 1/2 ft wide by 6 ft deep, vertical-walled trench that ran for 25 ft along the edge of a residential dirt road. A coworker was operating a backhoe at the end of the trench. A previously installed water line lay parallel to, and within 6 ft of, the trench. The entire side of the trench adjacent to the backfilled water line caved in, burying Employee #1 up to his head. He suffered multiple injuries and was killed.
