Investigation Summary
At approximately 8:10 a.m. on May 15, 2013, Employee #1 and Coworker #1, roofers employed by Independent Roofers and General Contractors Corp., were working at Building Number 46 of the Residential Nemesio R. Canales of Hato Rey, a multi-family residential development. They were performing waterproofing on the roof of the building. Employee #1 was walking backwards and approaching the roof edge while applying roof sealer with a roller. He fell off the roof and to the ground, a distance of 19 feet 2 inches. He sustained an unspecified fracture and was killed. The subsequent investigation determined that Employee #1 was not using a personal fall protection system, and no other type of fall protection had been installed on the roof.
