Investigation Summary
On September 12, 2011, the employer and a helper had arrived to a location for trimming trees. The trees were growing in between a main building and a warehouse. They used a ladder to gain access to the roof of the warehouse. From this roof, the employer operated a pole saw and the helper used a chain saw to trim limbs from a tree. While the employer was working, he stepped upon a skylight and fell through it. He fell approximately 10 ft, striking a concrete floor. The employer was transported to a hospital, where he died later on that day.
