Employee fractures spine in fall through roof access hole

At 11:00 a.m. on April 20, 2019, Employee #1 and coworkers were doing rehabilitation work on the roof of a three-story multifamily residential building. They were removing a roof hatch and were in the process of boxing it in. As the supervisor went to cut some 2 inches x 6 feet wood boards to frame the opening, Employee #1 stepped into the opening and fell approximately 8 feet to the apartment below. The employee was transported to the hospital and admitted for treatment of a fractured spine.
