Investigation Summary
Employee #1 and four coworkers were 33 ft above ground level, applying insulation and metal roof decking to the roof of a 400 ft by 400 ft storage building. They had cut a roll of new insulation and laid it on the purlins adjacent to the already installed insulation. They had placed planks on the already installed insulation in order to hold it in place and were preparing to staple the new insulation to it. Employee #1 was about 2 ft west of the newly placed insulation and about 5 in. away from the already installed insulation and roof decking when the wind picked the insulation up slightly, moving it away from where he was. The coworkers on each side of Employee #1 had looked away and, when they looked back, they observed his feet as he fell between the roof area and the insulation. They heard no sounds before, during, or after the fall, in which Employee #1 was killed.
