Investigation Summary
On August 20, 2007, Employee #1 and two coworkers were repairing a flat, 44 ft by 50 ft, torch-applied, modified-membrane, rubber roof. It had a 6 ft by 16 ft, L-shaped area along its east edge that had an 18 in. to 36 in. tall parapet. The coworkers were situated along the south and west sides of the roof, while Employee #1 was sweeping near an unprotected area at the eastern edge. He apparently either tripped on a 4 in. wide drain gutter or on some debris, stepped backward along the roof edge, lost his balance, and fell approximately 25 ft onto the asphalt driveway. Employee #1 suffered severe head injuries and was killed. No warning line system or safety monitor was in use.
