Incident on Dec 10, 2019: Employee fractures sternum and ribs in fall from ladder
At 10:30 a.m. on December 10, 2019, an employee was attempting to make a midspan connection to install telecommunications at a residential location. The employee climbed a ladder to access the pegs, the employee pole strap and connected his lineman's belt. The employee had to shift his position and noticed that the locking gate was not fully closed near his left hip. While repositioning, the pole strap dislodged from the connection point and the employee fell. The employee sustained lacerations to his head, and fractured sternum and ribs, resulting in hospitalization.
