Investigation Summary
On September 15, 2003, Employee #1, a supervising employee of the general contractor Central Valley Residential Builders LC., entered an 8 ft by 30 ft by 13 ft trench created in sandy soil with a backhoe by a subcontractor from K&J Plumbing to locate a sewer lateral line at the Fallbrook Homes subdivisions located in Clovis, California. After Employee #1 entered the trench, the vertical wall of the excavation collapsed, burying Employee #1 to his waist. Clovis Fire Rescue and Police used a "vacuum truck" to remove Employee #1 in a two-hour rescue operation. Employee #1 was treated at a local hospital for minor body compression injuries and released. Upon investigation, the trench was learned to have been created to locate a sewer, not for employee entrance. The operator stated he saw Employee #1 enter the trench. He alerted Employee #1 that the trench was unsafe and ordered him to immediately get out.
