The FCC and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration plan a workshop Oct. 14 on ways to cut the number of injuries and fatalities of workers who have to climb communications towers, said a public notice released Monday (http://bit.ly/1v38Z5m). The agencies said there already have been nine tower deaths in 2014. The workshop is to examine “factors contributing to the high rate of tower climber injuries and fatalities” and “best practices” for tower safety, the agencies said. Among the speakers will be FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler. The workshop is to start at 9 a.m. at FCC headquarters.
