Investigation Summary
At 3:15 p.m. on May 9, 2012, the employer was aligning vertically the manhole on the 78-inch diameter pipe by slowly rolling it counter clockwise with the use of a Komatsu excavator. While the pipe was being lifted and rigged, Employee #1 was still in the trench underneath the steel load. The pipe shifted, and its weight crushed Employee #1, resulting in a serious injury. Employee #1 was flown by helicopter to the Regional Medical Center of San Jose, where he was treated. Employee #1 sustained a traumatic crush injury, a ruptured diaphragm. Employee #1 was discharged on May 25, 2012. On August 8, 2012, Employee #1 underwent another surgery on his left thoracotomy and was discharged on August 10, 2012.
