Abstract: At 4:45 p.m. on January 16, 2015, Employee #1, employed by a utility line construction company, was working with coworkers to replace the crossarm of an electric utility pole. He was kneeling next to the pole and removing the plastic cover from the electric line insulators. As the crossarm was raised and positioned, the rope used to raise the crossarm broke. The crossarm fell approximately 30 feet and struck Employee #1. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital. He was admitted and treated for vertebrae fractures of the neck and upper back, a head laceration, and a concussion.
