Investigation Summary
At 1:30 p.m. on January 6, 2009, Employee #1 was working for a general engineering contractor in the modification of water canals. Employee #1 was directed by his supervisor to assist him in getting a measurement near an open trench. The trench, which was dug for the installation of a 48-inch steel pipe to service a water recycling system, measured approximately 11 feet deep by 8 feet wide. Employee #1 walked around the open trench and stepped onto a concrete foundation that was about 12 inches high. He then stepped down from the concrete foundation and fell into the open trench. Employee #1's supervisor, who was standing approximately 10 feet westerly from Employee #1, contacted emergency service.
