Investigation Summary
On January 10, 2006, Employee #1 and two coworkers were working for a contractor on a street paving project. They were raising a sewer main by shimming and placing mortar around a drain, so that another level of asphalt pavement could be put in place. The employees had removed the two 30-inch by 31-inch grates over the drain hole. Because the grates weighed approximately 75 to 100 pounds each, it was easier to raise the frame of the drain without the grates in place. While measuring the raised openings to see if they were out of plumb, Employee #1 fell into one of the holes and down to the concrete below, a distance of 15 feet, 5 inches. He sustained bruises, contusions, and abrasions in several places. He was hospitalized. His employer stated that these openings are never covered while this procedure is in place. One other sewer drain had already been installed on this site.
