Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was in a 6-foot-deep trench, which had a trench box or shield in place, while installing a sewer line. The operator of a track hoe excavator felt the bucket hit an object and instructed Employee #1 to try to see what he had struck. Employee #1 left the trench box and stepped into the unprotected area of the trench and found the object to be an existing water line. Before Employee #1 could step back into the trench box, the trench wall collapsed, burying him. The operator, who is coowner of the company, and his partner, dug Employee #1 out with shovels by hand. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital with bruises and scrapes over his body. Employee #1 was hospitalized for two days and released.
