Investigation Summary
Employee #1 and a coworker were assigned the task of removing an abandoned telephone pole. Employee #1 was directing the truck crane operator in the pulling and lifting of the pole. Once the pole had cleared the hole in the ground, Employee #1 directed the operator to release the claws of the crane boom from the top of the pole and man-handled the pole to control the direction that the pole would be laid-over. The top of the pole struck the ground with a force that was strong enough to vibrate the pole, causing it to dislodge the chain hook from the lifting chain. The butt of the pole dropped and fell onto Employee #1, killing him.
