Abstract: On March 12, 1998, Employee #1, who worked as a roofing foreman for the Rey-Crest Roofing Water Proofing Co., was caulking an awning that was leaking. He had to caulk between the awning and the wall. Employee #1 was on a 14-ft ladder at the height of approximately 10-ft, and the ladder was leaning on the awning. The awning was approximately 7 ft wide and 7 ft off the ground. Employee #1 leaned to put more caulking on and put his hand on the awning. Awning gave way, and Employee #1 fell onto a guard railing that was installed on the ground level. He sustained fracture to his chest and was hospitalized.
