Abstract: At 1:40 p.m. on December 4, 2019, Employee #1, a laborer, was working on a roof, cleaning the gutter and was wearing fall protection.

While walking towards the ladder, he tripped and fell down to the ground, suffering a broken left ankle. He stated that the path to the ladder was clear of any obstruction. Employee #1 stated that he was working by himself on one side of the roof the day of the accident and that other workers were on the other side of the roof unable to see what happened.
