Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was the foreman of a two-man crew that was installing wood curbs around the gymnasium roof openings for HVAC equipment at the Orinda (CA) Intermediate School. As the crew was cleaning up at the end of the day, Employee #1 picked up the plywood covering the southern most opening and fell approximately 33 ft through the hole onto the concrete floor. He sustained massive head and torso injuries and was transported by helicopter to the hospital, where he died later that same day.
