Investigation Summary
On October 29, 2007, Employee #1 and two coworkers were off-loading bundles of shingles from the forks of an industrial truck onto the roof of a newly constructed townhouse. The roof pitch was approximately 8-in-12, and they were placing the bundles laterally across the ridge of the roof. Employee #1 was carrying a bundle to the center area when he stepped on a piece of tar paper that was covered with frost. He slipped and slid down the roof, coming off the eave's edge near the middle rear area of the building, and falling approximately 25 ft to the ground. Employee #1 was transported to the Pocono Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead by the Monroe County Coroner's office.
