Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:50 a.m. on April 2, 1987, Employee #1 and two coworkers were installing insulation and metal roofing on top of a building. Employee #1 was in the middle as the employees, standing 15 ft apart, unrolled a 6 ft by 9 ft blanket of insulation, grasped it by its edge, held it up in the air, and flipped it toward the open roof line. A gust of wind caught the insulation and caused Employee #1 to fall 65 ft through the open side of the roof. He was killed.
