Investigation Summary
At 9:30 a.m. on April 18, 2021, Employee #1 was working from the bucket of a Caterpillar telehandler fastening purlins by bolts and screws on a new building. While fastening the bolts and screws he dropped the keys used to tighten the bolts and screws. The keys fell to the ground, so a coworker lowered the bucket from the cab of the telehandler so that Employee # 1 could retrieve the keys. In order to retrieve the fallen keys, Employee #1 had to approach to within 6 feet of an unguarded opening to a cement tunnel that was dug approximately 15 feet deep. As Employee #1 reached down to retrieve the keys, he fell into the tunnel. Employee #1 fell approximately 15ft to the concrete tunnel floor and died.
