Abstract: Employee #1, carpenter, was part of a four-man work crew installing pre-made roof trusses. He was standing on the second floor at the edge of an unprotected 7 ft tall by 6 ft wide picture window opening from which the bottom sill had been removed. Employee #1 was reaching out of the opening for a 2 by 8 that was leaning upright beside it when he fell approximately 14.5 ft through the opening to the sloping ground. He sustained minor lacerations, contusions, and sprains, and was transported to the hospital for treatment and observation. Employee #1 was wearing regular work clothes and shoes, but no other form of personal protective equipment. Causal factors in this accident include the lack of fall protection, fall protection training, training certifications, and competent inspection personnel.
