Abstract: At 10:00 a.m. on February 24, 2017, an employee was working for a firm engaged in new single-family housing construction. He was on the roof of a two-story residential cabin helping install fascia board along the edge of the roof. He was leaning over the roof's edge and pushing down on the fascia board to make it flush with an underlying 50-millimeter by 150-millimeter (2-inch by 6-inch) board. His hand slipped off the board. He lost his balance and fell. He fell 5.5 to 6 meters (18 to 20 feet) to the ground. He sustained two broken vertebrae in his back and he was hospitalized.
