Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 200515187
Event: 10/14/2010
Employee Is Killed in Rescue Attempt with Backhoe

At approximately 11:15 a.m. on October 14, 2010, Employee #1 was trying to find the existing water line so that he could install a connecting water line leading to a new building. There was an existing trench that measured 2.5-ft by 3.83-ft by 19.83-ft, and the employer was using a backhoe to reach a depth of 9 feet in the trench. Employee #1 was digging with a shovel in the bottom of the excavation when the wall that was underneath the spoil pile caved in and he was engulfed. The employer tried using the backhoe in an attempt to free Employee #1. It was determined that Employee #1 died from a laceration of the aorta from the backhoe.
