Employee falls through roof opening and receives fractures t

At 9:30 a.m. on October 18, 2018, an employee was working to remove the sheet metal roofing of a roof to expose the steel purlins for a building addition. At some point after the employee removed the sheet metal, a coworker maneuvered an articulating boom lift near the employee to bring him down off of the roof for lunch. The employee fell twenty-one feet through the roof opening as the employee did not have the lanyard attached to his full-body harness when the fall occurred. The employee was hospitalized for fractures to both wrists and face and an unspecified head injury.
