Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) Report: Painter Dies After 80-Foot Fall From Electrical Transmission Tower in Indiana.

摘要

A 31-year-old painter (victim) died from injuries sustained in an 80- foot fall from a 120- foot-high electrical transmission tower. The victim was a member of a four-man crew painting the tower. The crew had painted one side of the tower, from top to bottom, and had begun to paint the other side. The four crew members were working at the same level on the tower and all were wearing safety belts and lanyards. As the victim unhooked his lanyard to reposition himself on the tower, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
