Accident Investigation Summary | ||||||
| Summary Nr: 202317434 | Event: 10/02/2001 | Employee Killed In Fall From Tower | ||||
| Employee #1 and other employees were upgrading the antenna system on a 300-foot tower used by Cingular for cell phone service. There were three whip-type antennas on top of the tower that were being replaced by 12 new directional antennas. After the new antennas were installed, a "gin pole" (a 48-foot long section) was being lowered to the ground in the center of the tower. Employee #1 and another employee were riding on the "gin pole" (one at the top and one at the bottom). While the "gin pole" was being lowered to the ground, Employee #1, riding on the bottom, fell about 40 feet to the ground and was killed. | ||||||
