Investigation Summary
At approximately 9:15 a.m. on October 20, 2004, Employee #1 and coworkers were removing a damaged light pole from its anchor bolts. They were using a Telelect T-5000 boom on an International truck to lift the pole off the bolts. A synthetic rope was used between the winch and the light pole. The T-5000 was equipped with a man basket on one side of the boom and a winch on the other side. Employee #1 was standing in the man basket, operating the winch and boom, pulling on the damaged pole. He was not wearing a harness. The rope was under tension and failed, throwing Employee #1 from the man basket to the pavement, killing him.
