Abstract: On March 8, 1993, Employee #1 and an assistant had been assigned by their supervisor to repair fluorescent lamps at a customer's facility. Employee #1 had worked at this facility two or three other days before the accident, with a different assistant. Employee #1 and the new assistant began repairing fluorescent fixtures in the welding shop. After repairing several fixtures inside the shop, they used a powered platform to access the roof from the outside. Employee #1 walked across the roof to examine light fixtures on the opposite side. As he walked on the roof, he stepped on a fiberglass skylight, falling through to the concrete floor approximately fifteen feet below. He died of head injuries.
