Employee killed in trench cave-in

At about 9:30 a.m. on September 14, 1987, Employee #1 was working in an approximately 9 ft deep trench from which three sections of 6 in. (outer diameter) concrete pipe had already been removed. Employee #1 entered the trench to remove a fourth section when the north wall caved in, burying him. Although rescue attempts began immediately, Employee #1 was covered for several minutes before he was removed from the trench. He was pronounced dead at approximately 11:30 a.m. The company president said the company did not have a formal training program on trench requirements. Employee #1 had worked for the company for nine years and was experienced at this task.
