Investigation Summary
Employee #1, an experienced sheet metal worker, was one of four workers removing and installing new sheet metal on the 1.35:12 pitched roof of a 60 ft by 182 ft building. With one row of sheeting (39 in. by 30 ft) removed, the employee moved up the roof parallel to the opening. Near the roof ridge, he turned his back to the opening to talk to a fellow worker. He then took one step back and fell through the fiberglass insulation covering the opening. He fell 12 ft and landed, striking the back of his head on the cover of a large wooden box. Employee #1 died a short time later of his head injuries.
