Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was painting a 300 ft radio tower using a fall restraint system consisting of a chain connected at both sides of his body belt and a center hook. A cross member of the tower to which he was hooked was not fully bolted to the tower. Employee #1 apparently leaned back, causing the cross member to come off the tower. Employee #1 slid off the member, falling 240 ft to the ground. He was killed.
