Investigation Summary
At approximately 9:30 a.m. on November 24, 2006, Employee #1 was a member of a crew from Bowers Demo. They were dismantling a cooling tower on the flat roof of a two story building at the University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh. The 4-ft by 4-ft by 1-ft panels each weighed approximately 30 lbs. The panels were being taken to the roof edge then thrown into trucks parked below. Employee #1 was walking backwards while dragging his panels. A coworker heard a noise and turned to see Employee #1 flailing his arms as he fell backwards over the edge of the roof. Employee #1 was injured when he fell into an International truck and struck his head on a steel pipe. He was bleeding from the head and moaning for someone to help him. He was taken to a nearby hospital where he died from traumatic head injuries.
