Employee Is Killed in Fall

On January 14, 2005, Employee #1 was on the top step of a 6-ft ladder lubricating the bearing box of an air conditioning unit on the roof of a three-story building. The ladder was less than 2 ft from the edge of the roof and there was no guard rail at the roof edge. While reaching for a funnel from his coworker, Employee #1 lost his balance and fell off the unguarded edge of the roof 30 ft to the ground. He was killed.
