The Department of Labor and Industry has
decided no citations will be issued as a result
of a deadly tower accident last spring.
Forty-eight-year-old Michael Hinsberger and
60-year-old Gregory Harrington had finished
installing an antenna on a radio tower in
Martinsville last March, when the cable they
were being lowered with broke.
Both men fell about 30 feet. The fall
killed Harrington.
Investigators found the wire ropes the two
men used as a life-line did not meet required
standards. The men were also attached to
the same line, and should have each had their
own.
No citations were issued though because
Harrington was the sole owner of the company.
