Investigation Summary
At approximately 1:40 p.m. on August 20, 1990, Employee #7, of Far East Construction, was getting measurements for roofing paper from a roof with an approximate 20 degree angle. Employee #1, a carpenter, has done this task once before on his own house. As he was measuring the roof, he stepped backwards and fell approximately 11 ft 6 in. through a 4 ft by 3 ft opening to an exposed sewer pipe on the ground, injuring his left wrist. The South County Fire Department responded and found Employee #1 on the ground, conscious and coherent. He was taken to Harold D. Chope Community Hospital in San Mateo for treatment. Employee #1 had not been trained for this task by his employer. He is a carpenter, not a roofer, and did not have the proper safety equipment to work on the roof. The employer was cited for violating safety order.
