Employee Suffers Multiple Fractures in Fall from Tower

At approximately 6:00 a.m. on February 25, 2013, Employee #1, a Journeyman Lineman, was descending Tower 57 which was under construction near a hillside. As the employee was descending, he grabbed a lacing that was not adequately secured, causing him to lose his balance, and fall striking other coworkers as he falls approximately 25-ft to the ground. The employee was wearing fall protection equipment, but was not properly tied off. Employee #1 was taken to an area hospital, where he was treated for blunt trauma, rib fractures, and spinous process fracture. Employee #1 remains hospitalized.
