Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was using an extension ladder set against a parapet to descend from the roof of a building. To access the ladder, Employee #1 had to climb from the roof surface onto the parapet, which was 22 in. above the level of the roof, and then onto the ladder. The ladder had been untied from its securing point on the roof because it was to be taken down and stored. Employee #1 apparently fell 26 ft from the roof, the parapet, or the ladder, landing on concrete. He was killed. It was the end of the work shift and there were no witnesses to the accident.
