Abstract: On April 22, 2004, Employee #1, a foreman with a roofing crew, was preparing to remove and replace the existing roofing system on a 147-ft by 50-ft structure. He began to sweep the gravel ballast from the roof using a power broom before any fall protection was provided. While he was making a pass with his back to the edge of the roof, the machine's drive wheel belt came off the pulleys. The foreman was pushed back and fell 21.5 ft to a paved area. He was hospitalized for fractured ankles.
