Investigation Summary
At approximately 12:30 p.m. on February 20, 1994, Employee #1 and a coworker had used a ladder to access the pitched roof of a birdcage at the Zoological Society of San Diego to retie a canvas awning. As Employee #1 was moving about he lost his balance and fell 11 ft, fracturing his left wrist and sustaining a deep puncture wound in the groin. Both employees are bird keepers and work on the roof of the bird cage is not a routine duty. The causal factors of the accident were that the appropriate fall protection was not being used and that the employees were not specifically trained in working at heights. Just before beginning the work, they had reported to their supervisor that they would be performing this job.
