Abstract: At 2:30 p.m. on April 30, 2019, Employee #1, employed by a roofing contractor, was removing roofing material from a retail store front canopy. He was walking on plywood they had placed over the support braces when he stepped in an area not covered by plywood and fell. His fall was partially arrested by his fall protection system. However, after his safety line wrapped around a parapet wall section, it came undone. At that point the line was too long to prevent his hitting the ground. The employee was transported to the hospital, where he was admitted for treatment of factures to his face, nose, and right arm.
