These are 50-60 year old safety videos. They are reenactments of accidents involving phone company technicians that resulted in injury and how to prevent them. As a phone network technician, it's facinating to me how much has changed and yet how little has changed. These were from a 16mm film transferred to VHS transferred to DVD and now put on the Web.
I used to work construction dept at AT&T. I remember one guy who didn't sound the pole to see if it was safe to climb. He climbed up and pole gave way and toppled over...lucky for him it did not fall all the way over and hit the ground so he was unhurt.
