Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was installing insulation on a 38 ft wide by 48 ft long section of a flat roof. Warning lines had been in place but they had been moved so that he could work at the edge of the roof. Employee #1 was walking backward while carrying two pieces of insulation, one on top of the other. He laid down the first piece down and was laying down the second when the wind kicked up the insulation. Employee #1 was startled and stepped backward off the roof. He fell 21 ft to the ground, fracturing both ankles. There was no safety monitor at the time of the accident.
