Investigation Summary
On July 2, 2007, Employee #1, a roofer, was on the third-story roof measuring for a skylight opening in preparation for placing the material orders for installing the steel framing and concrete infill for the unit. The skylight opening was protected by two 4 ft by 8 ft sheets of plywood, one 7/8 in. thick, the other 16/32 in. thick, that were nailed down to the roof. Employee #1 removed the plywood covers and was taking measurements when he lost his balance and fell 30 ft through the unprotected skylight opening and into the stairwell. Due to the orientation of the stairs, Employee #1 fell 30 ft onto the concrete landing at the basement level of the stairs. Employee #1 was transported by ambulance to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
