Abstract: On August 10, 2005, Employee #1 was making preparations to replace boards on the roof of a residential home.

He accidentally stepped off of the roof and fell to the ground, hitting his head on the hammer that he was holding in his hand. Employee #1 was taken to a local hospital, where he was treated for a laceration on his head.
