FALL FROM UTILITY POLE

An electric utility employee was participating in a training class sponsored through a community college. (He was not being compensated by his employer for time spent in this class.) The training included a 9.1-meter free climb up a 457-millimeter-diameter utility pole. As the employee was descending the pole, his right gaff cut out, and he fell about 6 to 7 meters to the ground. He was hospitalized for his injuries.
