Investigation Summary
On March 25, 2003, a three-man crew was unloading 47 55-foot long CCA treated utility poles from a flatbed trailer to a ground storage area. There were six poles remaining on the trailer. The company president operated the digger derrick truck, which was used to pick up the poles. One employee was positioned on the trailer to place the skidding tongs normally used in the logging industry at the approximate balance point on the pole so it could be lifted. The tongs were placed in position and the operator lifted the pole approximately 18 inches off the trailer. The pole was not balanced and started to swing. The employee on the trailer motioned to lower the pole, but before that occurred the hooks disengaged and the pole began to roll off the side of the trailer. The employee on the trailer jumped in the direction of the rolling pole. The employee was knocked off the truck and was treated at the accident scene. He was transported to a local hospital were he was pronounced dead. An autopsy revealed severe brain trauma as the cause of death.
