Investigation Summary
At 3:50 a.m. on November 11, 2020, Employee #1 and coworkers, employed by a roofing contractor, were working on the roof of a school during a roof replacement. Employee #1 was tasked with picking up roofing debris and adjusting the warning lines that, along with a safety monitor, were the only means of fall protection. The employees were not using personal fall protection systems. As he worked, Employee #1 fell through a roof opening over an atrium, a fall height of 30 feet. Employee #1 sustained multiple blunt force traumatic injuries and was killed. The subsequent investigation determined that the roof opening had not been protected by a cover or guardrail system. The only protection was a warning line around the opening.
