Abstract: On July 23, 2013, Employee #1, an estimator with Trupro Inc. Dba Dils Roofing, used a 12 ft ladder to gain access to the first-story slanted, tiled roof of a private residence, for the purpose of giving the homeowner an estimate for roof repairs. From the first story roof, Employee #1 used a 16 ft ladder to gain access to the second-story roof. As he was descending the ladder from the second-story to the first-story, the ladder slipped, causing Employee #1 to fall onto the first story, slanted tiled roof. Employee #1 was unable to hold onto anything, and rolled off of the first-story roof, falling approximately 9 to10 ft to the concrete driveway below. Employee #1 sustained a fracture to the left side of the pelvis, and a fracture to the left heel. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital by emergency medical responders, where he was hospitalized.
