Hearing problems from pole erection
units
Some current BT engineers, and former BT
engineers, allege to have suffered hearing loss and tinnitus as a
result of using pole erections units during their employment with
BT.
Pole erection units are used to carry
telegraph poles and erect telegraph poles in the ground. They
incorporate an auger which drills into the ground to create a hole.
When the auger makes contact with the ground, this creates a loud
screeching sound.
