Investigation Summary
Employee #1 and two coworkers were installing a sewer line in a trench that ranged from 10 to 12 ft deep, depending on the slope of the land. The trench caved in and Employee #1 suffered crushing chest injuries. He died of asphyxia. The trench was neither sloped nor shored, there was no trench box, and an approximately 6 ft high spoil pile was located on the edge of the trench. A tractor-backhoe was used to dig the trench, but was not directly involved in the accident.
