Investigation Summary
On November 24, 2007, Employee #1, a maintenance employee, was working from the roof of the building removing a vent fan and lowering it 20 ft to the ground. The roof vent fan opening was approximately 59-in. by 51-in., and there was a wooden 2-in. by 4-in. board running across the vent fan opening. Employee #1 stepped on to the wooden 2-in. by 4-in. board with one foot as he lowered the fan to the ground with the use of a rope. The 2-in. by 4-in. board broke causing Employee #1 to fall and hit his head on the corrugating machine, and ultimately landing on to the concrete ground. The opening in the roof was not guarded, nor was Employee #1 using any fall protection. Employee #1 sustained a laceration to his head and was hospitalized.
