Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was in a 21 ft deep trench, installing the base section of a manhole. A stub was to be placed at the base of the manhole to allow for future expansion. The soil was classified as soft sand and gravel. A 6 ft wide trench box was provided but not used because the expansion stubs being installed ranged in width from 6 to 8 ft. Employee #1 was outside the trench box shoveling sand to clear the way for the expansion stub when the trench wall caved in on him, killing him.
