Abstract: At 6:57 a.m. on April 2, 2016, an employee was working at a construction site. He was making preparations to install sheeting on the roof of a building. As he was about to hook his lanyard to a roof anchor point, a piece of plywood that he stepped on gave way. The employee fell 19 feet through the roof's trusses and was killed. The incident investigation revealed that his death resulted from a serious head tram he sustained during the fall.
