Abstract: At 11:30 a.m. on April 4, 2016, an employee was rolling out ice guard and cutting it to size, in order to be installed on a back porch roof. The employee was cutting it to size with a handheld razor blade knife in the hallway section of the second floor. The employee is believed to have backed up and fell through a stairwell opening of second floor. Employee fell about 25 feet through stairwell opening to basement level. No one saw this incident happen. There is some question about whether or not the guardrails that were in place (at this location) when the CSHO's arrived at the site.
