Employee buried in trench collapse

On June 18, 2003, Employee #1 entered an unprotected vertical-walled trench that was 7-ft-wide by 12-ft-deep to locate an existing utility pipe. Within one to three minutes of his entry, the trench caved in, burying Employee #1. Other employees were near the trench and immediately jumped into the trench, found their coworker, and dug him out down to his waist. The Clark County Fire Department and Rescue Squad completed the rescue.
