Investigation Summary
On April 5, 2010, an employee and a coworker of a utility contractor were involved with the replacement of natural gas line risers at single family homes. A 3-ft deep hole was hand dug, approximately 18-in. in diameter, to access the main 1-in. gas line. A footage squeeze tool was clamped onto the 1-in. main gas line and the old riser assembly was removed. During the process of installing the new riser, the clamp was removed causing the flow of natural gas to enter the excavated hole. The employee was found by the coworker face down in the hole overcome by the gas. The employee was killed.
