Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was climbing a water tower to do painting and maintenance. He climbed an 18 foot ladder to reach above an unauthorized persons barrier, then continued up the ladder leg of the tower to the 27 foot cross member level. He was wearing a safety belt and lanyard, but did not attach a cable grab and the lanyard to the vertical safety cable that started at the 18 foot level. At the 27 foot level, Employee #1 stopped to rest and attached his lanyard, which was snapped back to itself and a miller hook, a large safety snap-type hook, to the ladder leg with the miller hook. He leaned back to rest on the lanyard and somehow the lanyard safety snap came off the miller hook. Employee #1 fell 27 feet to the soft dirt. He landed on his feet. Employee #1 sustained internal injuries and a chipped heel bone. The miller hook was still fastened to the tower ladder leg.
