Investigation Summary
Employee #1, a day laborer, arrived on the worksite at 10:00 a.m. The laborers were using shovels to remove small amounts of sand from a 6-inch deep trench, placing 2-inch polyvinyl chloride conduit, and using a gasoline-powered tamper to compact the sand in preparation for a foundation pour. The structural steel framing was in place. At approximately 3:30 p.m., Employee #1 complained that he was tired, was given water, a cold compress for his neck and was instructed to sit on a motorized cart and rest in the shade created by the building supports. Without telling anyone, Employee #1 walked from the building site approximately 800 feet up a slight incline to the job trailers. Upon arrival at the trailers he was unresponsive and lost consciousness. Employee #1 was treated at the worksite and transported by ambulance to a local hospital, where the cause of death was attributed to heat stroke, due to his having a core body temperature of 108 degrees Fahrenheit.
