Uncontrolled Descent by Worker on Utility Pole | Issue 05-2025
Workers were tasked with installing snare wires (a short length of wire used to temporarily secure or "snare" a cable, conductor, or guy wire during installation, maintenance, or repair work). As the utility worker completed their task they proceeded to climb down the pole.
As the utility worker stepped down, their right foot kicked out (gaffed out) and they slid down the pole approximately 50 feet to the ground.
