Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was part of a crew working in a 12 ft deep trench in which two 8 ft deep trench boxes had been stacked together. The crew came to a gas line and pulled off the top box to slide the lower one underneath the line. During this process, a large clump of soil fell into the lower box and struck Employee #1's right leg. He sustained injuries that required hospitalization. The trench was reported to be sloped.
