Investigation Summary
Between 8:00 a.m. and 10:42 a.m. on January 25, 2003, Employee #1 and a coworker were applying roofing to a new, single family dwelling. The peak of the roof measured approximately 34 feet from the ground and had a slope of 8 to 12. Employee #1 was working on the north-east side of the house where snow and ice was present towards the edge of the roof. Employee #1 and his coworker were laying 36-inch-wide tar paper strips, slowly nearing the peak, when they ran out of paper. The coworker stopped to replace the blade on his knife, while Employee #1 retrieved another roll of tar paper. For some reason, Employee #1 slipped, possibly on the snow or ice, slid down surface of the roof and fell from the eave, which was approximately 24 feet above the ground. Employee #1 was hospitalized and pronounced dead due to injuries sustained.
