Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 201361409
Event: 01/12/2001
Employee Died in Fall from Telecommunications Tower

Three employees were erecting a cellular telephone tower. They had erected the tower to a height of 30.5 meters. One of the employees was wearing a full body harness, a body belt with a connector being used as a positioning device, and a lanyard. Both ends of the lanyard were secured to one D-ring on the back of the harness. Although he did not use any type of fall protection to ascend the tower, he was using a pelican snaphook as a positioning device. The snaphook had a defective keeper--the spring was missing and the keeper would remain in an open position. In addition, the snaphook was not of the locking type. The snaphook became disengaged from the tower structure, and the employee fell 30.5 meters to the ground. He died of injuries sustained in the fall.
