At 5:30 p.m. on June 9, 2017, Employee #1, part of a three-person crew employed by a drilling contractor, was working at a construction yard and engaged in general construction labor work.

The holes varied from 2 feet to 2.5 feet in diameter and from 32 feet to 42 feet in depth. Employee #1 was carrying a piece of plywood to cover a hole that measured 2 feet wide by 37 feet deep.
