EMPLOYEE FELL FROM ROOF

At about 9:15 a.m. on December 9, 1997, Employee #1 and three other employees were working on the roof, on the back (west) side of a house in Sacramento, CA.

Employee #1 suffered a broken elbow and was hospitalized. Employee #1 failed to recognize the hazard posed by the water and moss on the roof.
