Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:00 a.m. on January 12, 2006, Employee #1, a foreman, was working with his crew installing underground utilities. He was inside of the trench, approximately 7-ft to 8-ft deep, attempting to remove a concrete plug from one of the pipes. When the hydraulic shoring was removed, the trench was not protected, and part of the dirt wall collapsed on him. He was trapped up to his waist and pinned against the excavator bucket. The fire department was able to rescue him. Employee #1 sustained fractured ribs and bruising of his chest and was hospitalized for his injuries.
