Investigation Summary
At 12:00 noon on December 15, 2023, an employee and four coworkers were installing upgraded radios and antennas on a telecommunications transmitting and receiving tower approximately 190 feet above the ground. The employee was part of the up tower crew that was preparing to raise a hybrid line further up the tower. The hybrid line was attached to the tower by a hoisting grip which failed causing the rigging and hybrid line to fall. The employee was struck and entangled by the line and the rigging. The employee suffered broken bones, contusions, crushing injuries, internal injuries, and lacerations that resulted in his death.
