Abstract: On June 9, 2001, four employees of a construction company were installing 4-ft by 8-ft sheets of 0.5-in. sheeting with nails and a hammer on the single story home with a 6-to-12 pitch roof. Each employee was on a different part of the roof. Employee #1 had installed three pieces of sheeting starting at the edge of the roof and going up the hip. At approximately 8:15 a.m., Employee #1 was on the east side of the home, starting to install the fourth sheet of sheeting on the north hip over the garage. Employee #1 was approximately 10 ft from the edge of the roof when the piece of sheeting slipped out of his hand. Employee #1 took a step down and back, towards the piece he had just dropped and tried to grab the piece. Employee #1 slipped and slid 10 ft to the edge of the roof and fell off of the structure. Employee #1 hit his head on the ground and received serious head and spinal injuries. Employee #1 was taken to the hospital where he died on June 12, 2001, due to complications from these injuries.
