Abstract: At approximately 12:10 p.m. on September 26, 2003, Employee #1, a sheet metal worker with Rarig Construction, was sweeping scraps of metal on a roof after roofing activity. After tripping sideways over a parapet wall, he made an unsuccessful attempt to grab the top of the wall, and then fell 30 ft to a concrete surface, striking his hands and face first. He was hospitalized at Stanford Medical Center (Berkley, CA) with numerous facial, arm, and leg fractures. Employee #1 was not wearing fall protection. Guardrails, warning lines, catch platforms, scaffold platforms and eave barriers were not present where he fell.
