Investigation Summary
An employee was installing bird wire on a utility pole. Working 24 feet above the ground, he had his pole strap around the pole and hooked into the D-rings on his body belt. A snaphook on his lanyard disengaged itself from the D-ring, and the employee fell from the pole. He died of injuries he sustained in the fall.
