Abstract: At 8:15 a.m. on May 6, 2005, Employee #1, a sheeter, was atop the roof of a multiunit residence under construction, sheeting with his brother. Employee #1 disconnected from his anchorage point to travel to the edge of the roof to nail in fascia boards. He stated that the wood was still wet at the time due to rain and approached the edge slowly when the fascia boards below him gave way, and he fell 19.5 feet to the balcony below. He suffered multiple injuries and hearing loss in his left ear due to the fall. Employee #1 was transported to Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial and was hospitalized for three days.
