Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was climbing down a ladder into a 14-foot deep excavation when the rubble wall of the excavation collapsed. At the same time, a Komatsu Excavator was putting a Mustang Skid Steer Loader into the excavation. It was too close to the unbraced rubble wall. A week earlier there was an attempt to install sheathing behind the rubble wall, but this was stopped due to vibration. Employee #1 died when the rubble wall collapsed.
