Investigation Summary
At approximately 2:45 p.m. on March 8, 2021, Employee #1, employed by a painting and wall contractor, applied plastic sheeting and tape to mask off windows and a top floor gutter, while working on the front porch roof of a two-story, residential home before painting the exterior. Employee #1 accessed the front porch roof with an adjacent scaffold, without the use of conventional fall protection and while distracted, e.g., looking at a wall while walking (lack of edge awareness), he inadvertently stepped off the East side of the roof, and fell approximately, 10 feet to the ground. The incident occurred on an active construction site. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital, admitted, and treated for fractures to multiple ribs.
