Investigation Summary
Employee #1, the company owner, was using a nail gun to secure siding near a chimney. He was working from a stepladder attached to a rope, which in turn was secured to a porch column. The rope, which extended from the porch over the peak of the 12-in-12 pitched roof and was holding the ladder flush against the roof. The ladder moved slightly as Employee #1worked, and eventually the edge of the metal roof sheared the rope, causing the ladder and him to fall to the ground. Employee #1 struck his head on a masonry block and was killed.
