Investigation Summary
At 09:12 a.m. on August 03, 2021, a coworker removed the bucket from the excavator in order to grab a pipe that was laying on the street facing in the north direction. The coworker secured it to the excavator and placed it inside the excavation. The pipe was placed in position and unhooked; the coworker removed the excavator from the excavation and started the process of placing the bucket back onto the excavator. The coworker stated he secured the bucket in place and proceeded to the excavation. As a coworker was approaching the excavation, he observed and assumed all coworkers were outside the trench. The coworker approached the excavation and was going to excavate when the bucket became detached from the excavator and fell on an employee, who was inside the trench. The excavator bucket pinned and crushed the employee, killing him.
