Abstract: At 2:00 p.m. on July 13, 2012, an employee and three coworkers were in the process of removing and replacing 3 x 11 feet fiberglass skylights on the roof of a vehicle maintenance shop. The employees had removed and replaced one row of skylights and were in the process of removing the second row. The employee was holding a cordless screw driver in his right hand and was kneeling to remove the screws from the skylight when he appeared to lose his balance. The employee reached out with his left hand in an attempt to brace himself; however, his hand went through the skylight and he fell 20 feet onto a concrete floor. The employee sustained a head injury, multiple fractures, and died.
