Investigation Summary
At 1:30 p.m. on June 14, 2019, Employee #1 and a coworker, employed by a construction company, were involved in excavating a trench and laying sewer/water pipe in the trench. The coworker was operating a backhoe with bucket on the slope of the excavation. The coworker retrieved the machine's outriggers and turned in his seat in preparation for moving the machine to the next section of trench and allowing Employee #1 to continue the pipe laying. The backhoe slipped backwards, and the bucket struck Employee #1's head. Employee #1 was killed.
