Investigation Summary
At 2:15 p.m. on August 15, 2024, Employee #1 and a coworker had cut a 52-inch by 52-inch rough opening in the roof for the installation of a new exhaust fan.

After lunch, Employee #1 was working away from the area of the opening and unknowingly walked over the uncovered opening in the roof. Employee #1 fell approximately 35 feet to the concrete warehouse floor. The employee sustained severe trauma to the right side of the body and died from blunt force trauma upon striking the concrete floor.
