Investigation Summary
At approximately 7:10 a.m. on March 10, 2022, Employee #1 was one of three employees conducting roofing activities on the breezeway at the time of the incident. The site is a public high school serving the population of Santa Rosa California. The employer task was re-roofing several of the structures onsite as well as the breezeways between major structures. Employee #1 was in the process of cutting roofing materials for installation on the breezeway when the incident occurred. Employee #1 suffered an unwitnessed fall from the leading edge of the breezeway, falling approximately 12.6 feet to the concrete surface below, striking his head. Employee #1 suffered extensive calvarial, skull base, and facial fractures. Employee #1 was taken to the local emergency department via ambulance, where he was admitted. Employee #1 remained in a coma until March 21, 2022, when the next of kin decided to remove Employee #1 from life support, and Employee #1 died shortly thereafter.
