Abstract: On June 30, 2005, Employee #1, a foreman of Precise Painting in Atascadero, California, was spray painting a fascia board. He was standing on a flat roof of a split level home and using an airless sprayer. As he was spray painting, he absent mindedly walked off the edge of the roof. Employee #1 fell off side of house 8 ft, where a rock fireplace was attached. Employee #1 fractured his elbow and ribs, and was hospitalized. The employer provided a personal fall protection, but Employee #1 did not use it, since he thought he could work safely on the flat surface.
