DECEMBER HAZARD-OF-THE-MONTH

1339 100th Ave, Oakland (XEast 14th St.)

This is the first Hazard-of-the-Month image. It's a picture of a pole-mounted B-Box; a big box in the neighborhoods that brings in the signal for distribution to the individual homes & businesses. This big ugly box is hazardous to work on. There is no safe manner to do this work if you climbed the pole. Our work belt wouldn't even extend around the box and the pole with the doors closed!!! Do Not Climb!

AT&T - Move this box down Or Remove it from the pole - so we can perform our work safely!
