Investigation Summary
At approximately 9:30 a.m. on August 16, 2004, Employee #1 was cutting rafter tails on the flat roof of the covered outside walkway of a school that was undergoing renovations during the summer. The 2 ft by 10 ft rafters were notched at the bottom so that they cleared a metal beam. Employee #1 was standing on the end of a rafter to cut it when the rafter broke at the notch and he fell 12 ft 10 in. to the ground. Employee #1 suffered a fractured pelvis and three fractured ribs, for which he was hospitalized. He was wearing a safety harness and shock-absorbing lanyard, but it was not tied off to the lifeline.
