Two serious incidents in a week

Two serious work at height related incidents, one fatal, have occurred in the town of Ormond Beach, Florida in the past week.

In the most recent, a construction worker was badly injured after the platform he was working from came into contact with an overhead power line on Friday. He was rushed to the hospital, but we do not have an update on his condition.

The platform after the shocked man was rescued

A week earlier to the day, a tree trimmer working on palm trees, for Darryl Hamilton Tree Service was having difficulty with his safety harness and unhooked it from the ladder, which then twisted causing the man, 57, to fall to his death.
Ormond Beach is just north of Daytona Beach on Florida’s east coast.
