Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was in an 120 ft long by 10.5 ft wide by 39 ft deep excavation, helping to install a 120 ft section of a 73 in. sewer line. At the time of the accident, the pipe and gravel backfill had brought the depth up to 29 ft. The workers were using a Caterpillar D-3 bulldozer inside the trench to move the gravel over the pipe as they were back filling. Employee #1, acting as a grade checker, was on the ground slightly to the side of the bulldozer when the operator hit a crosspiece with the cab of his vehicle. This caused a side wall whaler I-beam to fall. It struck Employee #1 on the foot and ankle, fracturing his ankle and causing related crushing injuries.
