Abstract: At 2:15 p.m. on December 10, 2018, Employee #1, employed by a roofing contractor, was engaged in re-roofing work at a one-story commercial building. He was using a wheelbarrow to remove roofing debris. As he moved the debris to the edge of the roof, he stepped onto a gypsum board that had been installed over a bad section of roof. The board gave way, and the employee fell through the roof, a fall height of 14.9 feet. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital and admitted for treatment of fall-related injuries. Worksheet mentions skylight but it's not clear that the hole once held a skylight.
