Investigation Summary
On December 30, 1995, Employee #1, a public utility maintenance worker, was repairing a 6 in. water main leak in a 15 to 20 ft long, 4 ft wide, and 6 ft 5 in. deep trench in Henderson, NC. Employee #1 and a coworker had entered the trench and had cut out a 52 in. long section of damaged water main. They were nearly finished with the repair when a side wall collapsed on Employee #1, pinning him just below his waist. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital but was not admitted. The trench had vertical walls and no trench box or shoring was used.
