Abstract: At 8:20 a.m. on March 31, 2009, Employee #1 was preparing the roof of a three-story building for foam spraying.

Emergency services were contacted and Employee #1 was taken to Cedar Sinai Hospital, where he was hospitalized and tread for injuries to his head, shoulder, knee, and back injuries, as well as a fractured right wrist. The accident investigation determined that the morning dew caused Employee #1 to slip.
