Investigation Summary
On March 19, 2013, Employee #1, a roofer employed by a company engaged in roofing operations at residential and commercial buildings, was working to reroof a single story residence. The previous day, the old roof had been removed, and the bare roof had been covered with a plastic sheet to protect it from overnight moisture. As work began on March 19, 2013, Employee #1 proceeded to remove the plastic sheet to start the new roofing phase. Employee #1 slipped on the moist plastic sheet and fell from the roof and into the backyard of the residence. He fell approximately 8 feet. The Orange County Fire Authority responded to a call for assistance. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital, where he was admitted. He required surgery to repair a fracture of the right wrist. He was hospitalized for 29 hours. The Fire Authority informed Cal/OSHA on March 19, 2013. Cal/OSHA's subsequent investigation determined that Employee #1 was regularly employed by the employer, that is, he was not a contract employee.
