Event: 03/16/1988
CONSTRUCTION EMPLOYEE TRAPPED IN TRENCH CAVE-IN

TWO EMPLOYEES WERE INSTALLING A CELLAR DRAIN IN A TRENCH WHICH VARIED IN DEPTH FROM 5 FEET, 3 INCHES TO 6 FEET. THE TRENCH WAS NOT SLOPED OR SHORED. A FROZEN CHUNK OF SOIL BROKE OFF FROM ONE SIDE OF THE TRENCH AND STRUCK EMPLOYEE #1 IN THE CHEST, PINNING HIM AGAINST THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TRENCH. THE WEIGHT OF THE CHUNK OF SOIL ON THE EMPLOYEE'S CHEST PREVENTED HIM FROM BREATHING AND HE LOST CONSCIOUSNESS. EMPLOYEE #1 WAS REVIVED BY EMERGENCY PERSONNEL AND SUFFERED NO APPARENT LASTING INJURIES.
