Abstract: On May 10, 2001, Employee #1 and three other roofing employees were assigned to install roofing material on a flat roof. Since a smokescreen was installed on the roof in the wrong location, they were instructed to remove it from the roof and place the smokescreen in another area. Employee #1 and the other worker decided to move the smokescreen themselves. Each employee was on the corner of the smokescreen. They lifted it up and began moving it. Employee #1 slipped and fell through the hole made by the smokescreen being removed, approximately 33 ft to the concrete floor. Employee #1 sustained fracture and was hospitalized. No fall protection system was utilized.
