Investigation Summary
On December 26, 2003, Employee #1, a plumber, and the owner were conducting a residential sewer tie-in. He was located in an excavated area, measuring 11-feet to 13-feet deep, approximately 50-feet long, and about 20-feet wide. The slope of the trench started approximately 8 feet from the bottom. As Employee #1 was working in the excavated area, the owner was located on a rubber tired 4 by 4 CAT backhoe. One of the trenches side walls began to shear off. The owner called to Employee #1 to warn him of the collapsing side wall. Employee #1 ran toward a ladder to exit the trench, but was pinned by the sheared side wall. Employee #1 was recovered from the trench, having suffered numerous contusions and abrasions.
