Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:30 a.m. on November 27, 2002, Employee #1, a telecommunications technician trainee, was working from a telecommunication hook ladder. He cut a cable service drop line and the motion created by the release of tension on the system caused him to be thrown off the ladder. He fell approximately 20 feet to ground, suffered head injuries, and was killed. The employee was not tied-off to the horizontal cable line and had only 6 weeks of work experience.
