On January 16, 2006, Employees #1 and #2 fell into a trench while engaged in horseplay. Employee #2 landed on top of Employee #1. A fire department trench collapse team extricated Employee #1 and airlifted him to Maryland Shock Trauma, where he was treated for an injured back. Employee #2 sustained minor abrasions. An investigation revealed that employees were not protected from cave-ins, were not trained in trenching and excavation safety requirements, and were not wearing hardhats.
