Abstract: On November 17, 2005, Employee #1 had used a red fiberglass extension ladder to access the main roof of a building. In preparation for installing windows between the main roof and the secondary canopy roofs, he walked along the eave toward a wooden vertical column to tie off his lifeline. Thin ice had built up on the roof, and Employee #1 began to slide down the roof. The slide guard near the column caught him, but it could not resist the force of the impact. Employee #1 slid along the guard and then fell to the ground. He sustained injuries that required hospitalization.
