Abstract: At 1:00 p.m. on March 20, 2019, an employee and coworker were on the roof of a boat building removing old skylights and replacing them with new ones. The coworker asked the employee to retrieve a new skylight to replace the old one the coworker just removed. The employee disconnected from the retractable lanyard, stood up and stepped back to grab the skylight. While doing so, the employee fell forty-five feet through the unprotected skylight opening. The employee was hospitalized to treat head trauma, swollen brain, unspecified bone fractures and a lacerated liver.
