Investigation Summary
A power line crew was setting an 11.6-meter utility pole. The crew placed a single-leg, steel-alloy chain sling in a choker configuration around the pole. One crewmember pushed on the butt end of the pole while a digger-derrick lowered the pole to the ground. The pole dislodged from the guide tongs on the digger-derrick and fell onto the crewmember, killing him.
