Employee Is Killed When He Falls from Roof

On March 4, 2008, Employee #1 and a building manager were making measurements on the flat roof of a 3-story apartment building, using a 50-ft tape measure. The building was 30 feet high and had a 2-ft parapet wall. They started at the North side of the roof, and progressed to the South side. At the 200 feet mark, the manager bent down to hold one end of the tape while Employee #1 walked backwards with the tape toward the parapet wall. When the manager turned around to face the parapet wall, Employee #1 had fallen off the roof. There had been no fall arrest systems, personal fall restraint or positioning system provided. Employee #1 was killed in the fall.
