Incident on Jun 7, 2023 (fatal): Employee is killed in excavation cave-in
At 8:53 a.m. on June 7, 2023, two employees (construction laborers) of KNA Construction were assigned to perform digging under the foundation and removing earth from the side of the trench next to a retaining wall. The employee and a coworker were excavating and removing earth material below the foundation of the retaining wall. The employer did not use any support systems such as shoring, bracing, or underpinning to ensure the stability of the retaining wall. The entire wall with the footings collapsed on top of the employee, and the employee was killed.
