Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 658344

Event: 10/20/1998

Employee killed in fall from roof

Employee #1 was installing a vinyl strip at the edge of the roof line when he leaned out too far and the roof bracket failed. Employee #1 fell approximately 24 ft to the ground and was killed. It was subsequently deduced that the anchoring nail had either been nailed into a bad piece of plywood or had missed the truss entirely.
