Employee injured in fall from telephone pole

On July 11, 2001, Employee #1 was assigned to disconnect a residential cable connection. Upon arriving at the site, the employee determined that the truck's 27-ft ladder would not reach the cable connect which was 30 feet high on the telephone pole. The employee put on all the required PPE and decided to climb the pole. At approximately 20 feet off the ground, while she was trying to go around a disconnect lever, one foot lost contact with pole and she lost her balance and fell to the ground. The employee sustained a spinal fracture and was transported by emergency responders to UDC Medical Center in Sacramento, CA.
