Investigation Summary
At approximately 3:30 p.m. on May 4, 2004, an employee performing telecommunications work had completed installing an antenna on top of a tower. As he was coming down the metal tower, he reached an area which had a 2.5-foot wide metal covering for cables. His foot slipped and he fell 10 feet onto hard ground. When he fell, he was not tied-off to the tower with his lifeline. His injuries included a fractured back and the skin on his left arm was pulled back. He was hospitalized for treatment.
