Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:00 a.m. on September 27, 2011, Employee #1, a pest control technician, and two coworkers were tenting a residence for termite abatement. Employee #1 was pulling the tent from the main roof onto the patio roof, but he lost his balance and fell 12 feet to the ground. Employee #1 was not tied off during the tenting process, but should have been wearing a fall protection harness and tied off at a roof tie off point. He sustained a complex right acetabula fracture involving both anterior and posterior columns with additional transverse fracture extending into the pubic ramus. Employee #1 also received a fracture involving the posterior sacrum at the S3 level. He was transported to Medworks, and then transported to Twin Cities Community Hospital, where he was hospitalized for treatment.
