Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:10 a.m. on August 15, 2001, Employee #1, a cable technician, was secured in a tree and was running a new TV cable through the tree from one power pole to another. As he was working, the insulator holding the power line to the power pole in the next pole up the line cracked and fell apart. This caused the line to energize the tree in which Employee #1 was stationed. He was transported to the Emergency Room at the local hospital, where he was found to have suffered no injuries and was released. It was determined that this was an uncontrollable accident and that the employer could not have prepared for it.
