Abstract: At 10:02 a.m. on September 6, 2019, Employee #1 and two coworkers were installing an eve metal cap at the edge of the roof. As Employee #1 straddled two roof purlins at the roof's edge, one coworker positioned a scissor lift outside the building and another coworker climbed the building's horizontal (girts) to assist by holding the eve metal. As Employee #1 moved, he attempted to grab a purlin, but slipped and fell, approximately, 16 feet 3 inches, head first, to the concrete. Employee #1 wore no fall protection and as a result, suffered severe head trauma and a fractured skull. He was then pronounced dead at the hospital.
