Abstract: At about 3:30 p.m. on August 25, 1999, Employee #1 and two coworkers were at the temporary worksite in Van Nuys, CA to remove underground communication cable for their customer. A public street lane was closed so the cable could be removed via a street manhole and wound onto a cable reel.
