Investigation Summary
A power line crew was removing a 12.2-meter utility pole from a parking lot. One of the crewmembers was asked to climb between 5 and 6 meters up the pole, belt off, and attach a steel sling as it was held in position by a crane. Because the pole was leaning at an angle, the employee was told to climb the pole on the high side. He had reached a height of approximately 3.7 meters when his gaffs cut out, and he fell to the asphalt. He suffered a fractured arm, for which he was hospitalized.
