Abstract: At 3:00 p.m. on November 30, 2020, Employee #1, employed by a construction company, was working at a multiemployer construction project, the renovation of a multifamily residential building. The employee was tasked with replacing a section of plywood at the roof's eave. A lull material handler was being used to lift a box made on the job to the roof to deliver supplies to employees. The box was not properly secured to the lull, and when the employee stepped into the box to retrieve the plywood, the box fell off the lull's forks, causing the employee to fall. Employee #1 fell a height of 20 feet 4 inches. He sustained multiple blunt force traumatic injuries and was killed.
