Investigation Summary
On December 20, 2007, Employee #1, a telecom technician, was on top of a 19 ft 10 in. high metal roof of a multi-purpose building for a church. He was preparing for a crew to upgrade two existing cell phone communication towers on the roof. The sloped roof had a pitch greater than 4-in-12. The roof was also wet from rain the night before and had some icy areas. Employee #1 was looking for the hatch opening and he had turned back to climb down from the roof when he slipped on a patch of ice and fell to the concrete porch. Employee #1 sustained a fractured right elbow, chipped vertebrae, and lacerations to his scalp. He was transported to Eden Medical Center, where he was admitted for treatment. Employee #1 did not have any fall arrest, restraints or positioning belts while on the roof, and there were no safety lines or cables for rigging.
