Investigation Summary
At approximately 8:30 a.m. on December 8, 2007, Employee #1, a roofer, was laying down composite material as part of a regular roofing job. He was on the hip of the roof when he lost his footing, slid down the roof and went over the edge, falling 12 feet onto soft dirt. Employee #1 called out to his brother, who was working on another roof at the site, to help him. His brother came over to assist and called Emergency Services. Employee #1 fractured his elbow and was transported to Kern Medical Center in Bakersfield, CA, where he was admitted for treatment.
