Abstract: At 4:00 p.m. on May 24, 2023, an employee was performing roof work on a church. The employee accessed a catwalk through a hatch and began walking across the catwalk. They were not wearing fall protection and were not trained to recognize and minimize fall hazards. The employer failed to ensure that the catwalk provided unobstructed egress to/from the roof and that it was inspected by a competent person before work started. The employee fell approximately 22 feet from the catwalk through a drop ceiling onto the floor below. The employee sustained multiple fractures and was killed.
