On October 18, 2017, at approximately 9:55 a.m., an employee was working on a planned outage and ascending a white pine tree scheduled to be removed. He was in the tree at a height of approximately 59 feet when he inadvertently unhooked the wrong safety strap and fell 68 feet to the sloped ground below. He suffered a partial lung collapse, four fractured ribs, a small cut to the right eyelid, and a hairline fracture to the left leg.
