Investigation Summary
At approximately 9:15 a.m. on March 5, 2002, Employee #1 was in a 6-foot-deep by 3.5-foot-wide by 7-foot-long trench obtaining soil samples to determine if the soil was suitable for a septic tank. Three of the trench walls were vertical and the employee had to get on his hands and knees to obtain the soil samples. While working in the bottom of the trench, an equipment operator, who thought they had finished taking the samples on the previous day, pushed soil into the trench, killing Employee #1.
