| On October 10, 2011, Employee #1, with an electrical subcontractor, was descending a pole. When he reached the pole steps at the communication level, he disconnected his pole choker fall restraint device. As Employee #1 swung around the pole from the high side to the lower side (approximately 12 in. out of plumb), his gaff caught on a section of ground molding. He then lost his balance and fell approximately 20 ft to the ground. Employee #1 was hospitalized for abrasions and bruises. | |||||||
