Investigation Summary
At approximately 3:00 p.m. on December 19, 1995, Employee #1 was reroofing a building in Bellingham, WA. Because the vertical lifeline that was part of his fall protection system would not reach the roof access ladder, he disconnected himself from the lifeline. While walking backward toward the ladder, he stepped on part of the old corrugated fiberglass roofing. He fell approximately 20 ft through the roof and onto the concrete floor. Employee #1 died the next day.
