Investigation Summary
On October 22, 2007, Employee #1 and coworkers were on the flat roof of a gymnasium, preparing to set up the fall protection system. Employee #1 placed his soft drink can on the roof in front of a skylight, turned around, and sat down on the domed plastic cover of the skylight. The cover broke, and Employee #1 fell approximately 26 ft to the gym floor. He sustained a serious head injury and was transported to the hospital, where he died one week later.
