Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 202311791

Event: 03/05/1999

Employee injured when he falls from telephone pole

Employee #1 was climbing a telephone pole to service cable television equipment in front of a house. As he reached his approximate height goal he began to circle the pole by inserting a gaff on one foot into the pole and then the gaff on the other foot would be brought closer and inserted into the pole. The gaffs must be inserted positively to hold the weight of the climber. Employee #1 feels he did not insert the first gaff sufficiently into the pole and it gave way as he transferred his weight. Employee #1 suffered torn ligaments in the left foot and contusions to the back and was hospitalized.
