Investigation Summary
Employee #1, employed by the State of California Department of Transportation as a maintenance worker, was assisting in the repair of a rock fall fence. Employee #1 was using a system of ropes, shackles and climbing gear to support him as he climbed over the sloped hill side. Some points were vertical. Employee #1 tied off to the fence cables at the top of the hill side. Employee #1 tied off to a shackle. Employee #1 tied off to the shackle pin instead of the saddle portion. While working, the movement of Employee #1's rope on the pin caused it to come loose. This caused Employee #1 to fall approximately 20 feet to the roadway. Employee #1 sustained fractures to his feet and back. He was hospitalized.
