Abstract: At 8:31 a.m. on January 13, 2020, Employee #1, employed by a roofing company, was engaged in reroofing activity at a one-story commercial building. He was removing old roofing layers down to the structural metal deck. The metal deck, which was deteriorated and corroded away from the open web steel joist and beams, failed to hold the employee's weight. The employee fell through the metal deck to the concrete surface, a fall height of 22.8 feet. Employee #1 sustained skull fractures and blunt force traumatic brain injury and was killed.
