Investigation Summary
At about 1:40 p.m. on April 18, 2005, Employee #1 and two coworkers were working for their employer, John Smith Roofing, of Orange, CA., at a jobsite in West Covina, CA. Employee #1 was laying felt on the roof of a two-story single family residence under construction. He was moving across the roof, when he stepped off the edge and fell 20 feet to the dirt ground below. He sustained a fractured left wrist and sore ribs. His coworkers witnessed the fall. He was transported to Long Beach Memorial Hospital, where he was hospitalized for six days for treatment. Employee #1 had been trained on the hazards of working on roofs and the dangers of falling. There is an exemption from fall protection for roofing activities below a certain height. The height of this roof did not exceed that limit.
