Investigation Summary
At approximately 3:20 p.m. on May 5, 2006, Employee #1 was working on a mid-span drop for cable T.V. when he fell from his ladder. Employee #1 had hooked his ladder to an aerial strand (wire rope) with his back to the house which created tension on anchor wire and T.V. cable. Employee #1 climbed the ladder and began his work. Employee #1 noticed a kink in the wire rope going to the house and started to descend the ladder when it "popped" and released the kink in the anchor line. This caused the ladder to bounce away from Employee #1 and he fell. Employee #1 sustained a compound fracture on his left arm and smaller fractures in wrist and elbow. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
