Abstract: At 11:30 a.m. on October 8, 2004, Employee #1, with Coastal Roofing, was performing roofing operations on a one-story, wood-framed restaurant under construction. Two roofers were hot-mopping asphalt when Employee #1's foot became stuck in the hot asphalt. As he pulled his foot, it broke loose, causing him to turn and fall forward toward the cart containing the hot asphalt. He attempted to push the cart away, but was unsuccessful. As Employee #1 fell, the cart tipped, pouring hot asphalt onto his hands and arms. He was hospitalized for serious burns to his hands and arms. Employee #1 underwent surgery and skin grafting.
