Abstract: At 7:54 a.m. on April 3, 2019, Employee #1 and a coworker, employed by a property restoration construction company, were working on the roof of a one-story manufacturing plant. They were walking along the low-slope roof and carrying a scrap metal panel to place on a dunnage pile. Employee #1, who was not connected to a complete fall protection system, stepped onto an uncovered plastic skylight and fell, a fall height of 32 feet. As he fell, he struck the edge of a steel plate conveyor and then struck the concrete surface. Employee #1 sustained multiple traumatic injuries and was killed.
