Abstract: At 8:15 a.m. on June 13, 2018, an employee was installing cable at a mid-span attachment. The employee was using a twenty-eight foot ladder (Lunar Type IAA extension ladder with attachment hooks) to reach the mid-span approximately fifteen feet up.

He was transported to the hospital for head and spine hematoma injuries and a fractured hand. The employee was hospitalized for several days for his injuries.
