Investigation Summary
At 10:30 a.m. on September 8, 2020, Employees #1, #2, and #3, employed by a roofing company, were preparing to do re-roofing on a residential structure. They were setting up a platform hoist to lift shingles to the roof when they noticed the extension section on the hoist's base unit was installed backward. As they moved the hoist away from the roof to correct the extension section installation, the hoist made contact with overhead wires. The three employees sustained severe electric shock. Employee #1 was transported to a hospital emergency department, where he died from electrocution that afternoon. Employee #2 was transported to another hospital, where he died from electrocution on September 25, 2020. Employee #3 was transported to a hospital, admitted, treated for burns to his feet, and discharged four days later.
