Employee fractures several bones in slip and fall from roof

At 12:32 p.m. on February 9, 2021, an employee working as an installer for a solar electric power supplier was walking on a roof. The employee stated that he was looking for an anchor point for his fall protection. After he found an anchor point, he began walking back toward the ladder to leave the roof. On the way to the ladder, he slipped and slid down the roof, eventually falling approximately 8.5 feet. The employee was hospitalized to treat a fractured right heel, finger, and ribs from impact with the ground.
