Abstract: At 9:35 p.m. on September 21, 2023, two employees, Employee #1 and a coworker, were on the flat roof of a three-story apartment building, approximately 32 feet above the ground to replace a compressor in a broken AC unit. The two employees then began looking around the roof for left over brazing rods that they might have left behind during a previous visit, because they forgot their brazing rods in the vehicle. Employee #1 then walked on to an approximately 7-inch-wide by 25-foot-long decorative roof beam, and he slipped and fell to the concrete ground. The employee was killed.
