As a retired Firefighter/EMT the absolute worst thing you can do in a situation like this is to rush in without accessing the situation! You are no good to anyone if you get injured yourself!
I always instructed the Boy Scouts I First Aid Trained to take care of themselves first, then the victim. Be a part of the solution - not part of the problem. Blessings for the injured one here.
Here is how things will happen. OSHA is coming. The company better be able to document that all workes received initial training and related instructions. Did each employee receive their yearly update on the safety issues involved with their particular trade? These two items require a signed form and must be performed by a certificate trainer. If not, stick a fork in yer self. I hope the injured worker is ok. If not, someone will be spending time in a federal prison. 3.5 years in prison for an event in Canton, Ohio, years ago with a death.
HOPE FELLA IS MORE THAN OK 👍🏻 OSHA requires employers to provide ladders, steps, ramps, or other safe means of egress for workers working in trench excavations 4 feet (1.22 meters) or deeper. The means of egress must be located so as not to require workers to travel more than 25 feet (7.62 meters) laterally within the trench.
Prayers to the people involved. Construction is very dangerous no matter how big and important the project or paycheck is safety should always be priority.
I don't know what happened and im sure OSHA is on the job but when I got out of highschool I got a job putting up guardrails for new interstates and replacing it and we also had to put in lights in for the rest stops and we were doing that the power company was supposed to turn electric off on the poles were setting but they didn't turn it off so when my coworker picked up the pole and put it in the hole it hit the power line and electrocuted him and the guys who were holding it they were killed instantly i saw everything i had nightmare for a long time after OSHA did investigation and found that the company we worked for was not responsible for the accident and we did everything right the power company was at fault so i hope the guy is ok this work is dangerous you have to be on your toes
When you don't take the time to put in the Safety Shields at a Excavation , you ALWAYS RISK A CAVE IN! Someone commented the Operator is in deep doo , No,it didn't start with him. It started with the Foreman and the Safety officer and the county permits people. All of these individuals were to ensure a every Saftey Protocol was Followed and in place before on shred of Dirt was Removed. This isn't fiction or me just commenting. Having years worth of expierience at construction sites and working with Site Saftey Officers at my sites , I am well abreast of Safety Standards per OSHA And this incident Happened not with that operator but with Management and Saftey not doing their jobs. Yeah this poor Guy got the Brunt of negligence and the Operator has guilt on his heart that he doesn't deserve. My prayer go out to the Families involved and hopefully the guy made it. Another tough lesson for all involved. Don't cut corners. BE DAMNED BUDGETS AND HURRY UP!! DONT ENDANGER LIVES BECAUSE OF EGO AND BUDGETS!!
I do not think that hole was OSHA-compliant. I think if it is deeper than 4ft it is supposed to be shored up on the sides before entry. How far was the hospital? It seemed like they wasted quite a bit of time playing with the chopper when they could have probably already had them at the hospital. I hope he survived.
Idk about everyone else, but when i worked in construction, if an incident happen the job and everyone around is at a stand still nothing moves....why risk another employee to get injured or cause two deaths? I swear common sense aint to common anymore. Im sure no one on that site wanted to do ill intent to each other, we all are trying to feed our families. Last, osha will investigate at some point but im almost positive they will not file criminal negligence against the employee. Permits work both ways and jobs have safety meetings or should beginning of every shift. Some things are going to happen regardless of the protocol in place because human aspect is just get it done not oh if i did this i have a 70percent chance of dying.
I work dedicated as a truck driver as a truck driver for a large printing firm & deliver goods between the 6 plants i our local area. I was up at one of our plants one night & seen a bunch of fire trucks showing up & staging on the one side of the building. I have radio contact with Distibution (shipping) & asked over the radio if anything was going on. The replied not that they knew of that it was probably just training. Dude, I had just loaded large paper rolls less than 100 ft from where the fire department was hooking up hose to the interior sprinkler system. As I left the plant, I swung around the fire trucks (7 of them, Tenders lined up) I passed by & looked inside the building to see the sprinkler system spraying water down on a machine that was clearly on fire. I feel the situation needed an evacuation of the building. Oh well, to others its business as usual. Reminds me of all the Amazon workers that died after the tornado struck their warehouse. Some lucky employees survived after leaving work early after tornado sirens went off. They were told if they leave, they were fired. They left, but are alive today because of it. These places of employment don't care about the wellbeing of the workers, it is the $$$ that mean the bottom line.

I just read threw all of the comments. I agree prayers are needed. The rest just keep pointing fingers blaming everyone else for things that either aren't part of this, or Safety people who report and monitor the accident. It's Rescue's job to come in and do something, not anyone else. They handled this perfectly well, as they should. It ain't their first rodeo. All phases of construction have the ability for someone to get hurt. Thankfully these guys had a team on hand to witness the fallout, and weren't working as a private contractor doing something that won't be seen until the homeowner comes home from work, to look to see why it wasn't completed.

Hello. There are no trauma centers in Pasco county. The closest trauma center is st joes main and with morning rush hour traffic would be an hour drive. It is much much faster for a helicopter to get there and than fly this patient to the appropriate facility.
Don’t go blaming the operator without facts! There’s many times that the operators go off a guy giving hand signals! Everyone has accidents idc how good you are at what you do especially construction sites where there’s a lot of guys in a small area! Don’t go blaming anyone without a clue as to how it happened
Can’t transport by helicopter until the patient is stable. It’s not a lack of urgency but doing what is necessary especially if in critical condition.
Hate to see construction accidents like this! They're almost always 💯% preventable 😕.
Prayers for that gentleman and his family.
