Investigation Summary
On September 16, 2009, Employee #1 was laying pipe in a 9 ft deep trench. He was connecting two sections of 12 in. diameter by 14 feet long pipe. The pipe end was lubed and Employee #1 left the protection of the trench shield to push the pipes together from the end not being connected. The first attempt to connect the pipes from a standing position was unsuccessful. Employee #1 sat down to kick and push the pipes together using his legs. Immediately after he pushed the pipes together, a cave-in occurred from the upper portion of the trench wall that was near an existing gas supply line. Employee #1 was buried and killed.
