Investigation Summary
On June 13, 2001, Employee #1 and other employees were removing corrugated metal sheets on the roof of a metal building. As Employee #1 moved about the roof, he stepped onto a skylight. His weight caused the skylight to break sending him 21 ft to the ground. The impact of his fall caused significant internal damage consisting of fractured bones and lacerated organs. The emergency medical services were summoned and transported him to the hospital, where he died shortly thereafter.
