Abstract: At 12:45 p.m. on November 13, 2018, Employee #1 and a coworker, employed by a roofing company, were part of a larger crew installing a new roof on a three-story commercial building. The roof, which was flat, was approximately 39 feet wide and 69 feet long. The employer was using a warning line and a safety monitor for fall protection. Employee #1 was rolling out roofing tape, and the coworker was acting as safety monitor. Employee #1 walked past the safety monitor to the other side of the roof, outside the warning line, and began installing roofing tape. The safety monitor observed Employee #1 but was not able to see that Employee #1 was too close to the roof's edge. Employee #1 fell, a fall height of 39 feet. Emergency services transported the employee to the hospital, where the employee was admitted and treated for injuries that included a fractured pelvis.
