Abstract: On May 20, 2008, Employee #1 and a coworker were part of a crew installing and securing metal roof panels. They were at the edge of the roof folding back pieces of insulation when a gust of wind blew an unsecured panel, which struck both workers and knocked them off the roof. Employee #1 fell over 18 ft to the finished concrete floor and was killed. The coworker grabbed onto an I-beam and hung from it until rescued by coworkers in a scissors lift. Neither was utilizing fall protection equipment.
