Investigation Summary
On June 14, 2002, Employee #1, was working for Moeves Plumbing finishing up a sewer tap lateral connection to Building #12 on Bending Branch Lane in Miamisburg, Ohio. The trench was approximately 9 ft deep and had not been sloped nor had any other form of trench protection. The side walls of the excavation began to cave followed by a cave in which could have been attributed to the equipment used for the trench excavation. A rescue operation was initiated to save Employee #1, but it shortly turned into a recovery operation. Employee #1 was recovered from the trench and was pronounced dead at the recovery site. According to a local Dayton newspaper report, the Miamisburg area had 2.5 in. of rain the night before the accident.
