Investigation Summary
On November 16, 2007, Employee #1 was removing roofing material (rocks) from a surface in preparation for replacing the roof membrane. He fell 23 ft through the roof membrane into the building, landing on a concrete floor. He sustained facial lacerations and multiple contusions over his upper body, for which he was hospitalized. The employer failed to ensure that the work surface had the structural integrity adequate to support workers, nor did it provide fall protection or training in fall protection.
