Investigation Summary
At approximately 1:45 p.m. on January 30, 2013, an employee and a coworker were in an open trench approximately four feet wide and three to three and a half feet deep. The employee and the coworker were using hand shovels to clean out the bottom of the open trench. A large piece of dirt sloughed off from the south side of the trench and landed on the employee's right lower back and hip. The employee received a bi-lateral fracture of the pelvis for which he was hospitalized. The causal factor of the accident was that the supervisor did not adequately evaluate the open trench slopes and supper edges of the trench prior to permitting employees to enter the open trench. The employer was a commercial fruit manufacturer and agricultural farming operation to provide product to the fruit juice operation.
