Abstract: On June 2, 2017, Employee #1 and Coworker #1, the company owner, both employed by a roofing company, were engaged in roofing work at a new two-story residence. They were on the deck of the roof and installing shingles when the structure collapsed under their weight. Both workers fell, a fall height of approximately 30 feet. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital. He was admitted and treated for a fractured spine. Coworker #1 did not require hospitalization. The subsequent investigation determined that neither worker was using fall protection.
