Investigation Summary
At 12:30 p.m. on February 20, 1990, Employee #1 and Employee #2 along with a coworker went to the roof located over a power boiler at a pulp and paper mill to perform their assigned task of removing two 42-inch-wide by 10-foot-long corrugated asbestos transite panels. Employee #1 and Employee #2 got onto the roof while their coworker assisted from a lower level. A torch was used to cut the retaining bolts to allow the panels to be lifted. As the two employees on the roof attempted to remove the subject panels, the roof failed due to the imposed load and its deteriorated condition. Both employees fell to lower levels, 22 foot and 34 foot below, resulting in one fatality and one hospitalization. Fall protection was not utilized nor was scaffolding erected to support temporary flooring.
