Abstract: At 8:30 a.m. on March 29, 2021, two employees had accessed the roof and were assessing the work for the day. They had not put on their fall protection equipment nor connected themselves by lanyard to an anchor point. The primary contributing factor to the accident was a lack of fall protection equipment at the time the first employee stepped on condensation on the roof's waterproofing from the overnight period. Employee #1 sustained a broken leg and was hospitalized. Employee #2 sustained a laceration to his head and was treated without hospitalization.
