Abstract: At 12:00 p.m. on May 29, 2019, Employee #1 and five coworkers, employed by a roofing contractor, were rehabilitating the roof of a four-story condominium building. They were removing and replacing any damaged plywood and installing all new shingles. Employee #1 was pulling up shingles near the gutter at the edge of the building's rear side. As he adjusted his lifeline, he lost balance and fell to the deck of a unit below the eave of the roof, a fall height of 9 feet. He struck the deck's wood surface. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital and admitted for treatment of contusions to his back.
