Investigation Summary
At 2:45 p.m. on December 22, 2020, Employee #1 and a coworker, employed by a roofing contractor, were assigned to evaluate the condition of a commercial building's roof and make simple repairs, as needed, in preparation for the building's sale. They were on the roof when Employee #1 stepped onto a skylight that was flush with the roof deck. The skylight failed to support Employee #1 and collapsed, sending Employee #1 falling to the concrete surface, a fall height of 21 feet. Emergency services transported Employee #1 to the hospital, where he was admitted for treatment of blunt force traumatic head and chest injuries. Employee #1 died at the hospital on January 10, 2021.
