Employee injured from fall off of roof

At approximately 8:00 a.m. on December 10, 2001, Employee #1 and other coworkers were cleaning the gutters of an apartment building when Employee #1 slipped on an icy patch located on the roof. The icy patch resulted from several days of incremental cold weather. Employee #1 stepped upon the icy surface as he traversed a small parapet on the roof of the building. As he slipped, he lost his balance and slid down the 2 to 12 slope of the roof. He slid approximately 12 ft to the edge of the roof and fell approximately 15 ft to the ground. The impact of his fall caused fractured vertebrae. He was hospitalized for injuries sustained in the accident.
