Employee Injured Spleen in Fall from Utility Pole

A power line supervisor was working 1.8 meters above the ground on a utility pole. He was using a gas drill to install step bolts on the pole. He had installed several steps when he repositioned himself to drill the hole for the next step. As he positioned his right foot, the gaff did not penetrate the surface of the pole, causing the employee to lose his balance and fall onto a wooden picket fence. He was hospitalized with a torn spleen.
