Investigation Summary
At 11:15 a.m. on June 2, 2017, Employee #1 and Coworker #1, employed by a construction company, were working on a pipe installation, part of a road construction project. They were positioned near the edge of an 11-foot trench/excavation and using large wrenches to tighten bolts on a 24-inch butterfly valve. Employee #1 was approximately 4 feet away from the trench when his wrench slipped from a bolt. He stumbled backward and fell into the trench, a fall height of approximately 11 feet. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was extracted from the trench and transported to the hospital. He was admitted and treated for a mild concussion and compression fractures to spinal vertebrae T8, T11, and T12.
