Abstract: At approximately 12:00 noon on November 2, 1994, Employee #1 was using an unsecured portable aluminum ladder for ascending and descending a flat roof. The roof's edge was metal. While Employee #1 was descending, the ladder slipped and he fell approximately 13 ft headfirst. A witness said that Employee #1's chest was at roof height when he suddenly went limp and fell like a rag doll, making no effort to break his fall. Employee #1 died.
