Investigation Summary
Employee #1, and two coworkers were working in a trench installing sewer line. The employees were in a 7-ft-deep trench (dry clay soil) laying 100 ft of 8-in. sewer drain. The coworkers finished work and, while exiting the trench, they saw the trench caving in on Employee #1. There was no septic equipment being used. The dirt caved in around Employee #1. The pressure against his chest suffocated him. The trench was neither sloped nor shored, and lacked a trench box.
