Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:30 a.m. on January 30, 1989, a 22-year-old apprentice electrician, was working on the roof of a newly constructed tomato plant in Immokalee, FL. He had been assigned to work on the roof at the start of the day by a lead electrician. Employee #1 was to strap electrical conduit to metal bracings that support the air conditioning units. The lead electrician saw Employee #1 around 10:30 a.m. at the tool box on the ground floor. The next time Employee #1 was seen, he was lying on the concrete floor, below the ladder cage. Apparently, Employee #1 finished his work, walked over to the edge of the roof next to the ladder cage, lost his balance, and fell onto the concrete pad below. He sustained fatal head injuries. The area on both sides of the ladder cage on the roof was not equipped with standard railings. This area is needed to access the catwalk on top of the building, which leads to the air conditioning units.
