The cell phone towers are constructed and maintained by engineers to ensure that people receive strong cell phone signals. However, research shows that climbing cell towers are a risky undertaking for engineers. Research conducted by PBS Frontline (2012) showed that workers at cell towers are at a greater risk of dying due to falls. The research found that the death rate attributable to falls from cell towers is more than 10 times higher than in the conventional construction industry.

The number of deaths attributable to falls from cell towers has been on the rise following the increased clamor for modern cell phone networks. Knutson (2013) reveals that more than 10 cell tower workers have died this year alone. Their deaths have been occasioned by accidental falls from tall cell towers. A survey also shows that a majority of those who survive cell tower fall end up with serious injuries, including back injuries, broken limbs, and head injuries. In fact, this year alone, at least three people have suffered serious injuries after falling from cell towers. This is an indication that much needs to be done to boost the safety of cell tower workers. Improving safety will help reduce the number of falls from cell towers.

November 13, 2013, was one of the darkest days in the cell tower industry. This follows the death of a 27-year old tower technician after succumbing to injuries he sustained when he fell from about 340-feet tower in Wichita, Kan. His death marked the thirteenth death attributed to falls from a cell tower in the year 2013. The cell tower technician identified as Douglas Klein, a resident of the New Jersey-New York metropolitan area accidentally fell down from a 340-feet tower. The report indicates that Klein together with three other colleagues had been troubleshooting an equipment failure on SBA communication structure. However, at around 5.20 pm, as they were climbing down after solving the problem, he accidentally slid and fell to&nbsp.the ground.&nbsp.
