Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:30 a.m. on May 18, 1988, Employee #1 was repairing and replacing slate roof tiles near the peak of a church roof. The roof had an estimated pitch of 15 in 12, with eaves 25 feet above the parking lot pavement. Employee #1 was secured by a 5/8 inch frayed, deteriorated manila rigging and/or working rope, which was anchored by two coworkers on the other side of the church. The rope broke approximately 6 feet from where it was secured to Employee #1's body belt, causing him to slide down and off the steep roof to the pavement. Employee #1 suffered extensive internal injuries, a broken pelvis, broken ribs, a ruptured spleen, and cuts, lacerations, and bruises.
