Investigation Summary
On November 25, 2013, Employee #1, a foreman, and Coworker #1, both employed by Century Mobile Homes, a mobile home installation and repair company, were involved in re-roofing a mobile home. Coworker #1 had covered half the relatively flat roof with a tarp at the end of the previous day, and that half of the roof was clean and dry when he removed the tarp the morning of November 25, 2013. The other half of the roof had not been covered, because they did not plan to work on it on this day. Employee #1 had just arrived and accessed the dry portion of the roof by ladder. According to his statement during the subsequent investigation, he was unaware that half the roof was still wet and icy, and he did not notice any ice as he walked to the middle section of the roof. As he stood near the roof's edge, he reached down and picked up a roofing starter strip. His feet slipped out from under him, possibly due to his stepping onto an icy area of the roof. He fell off the roof to the dirt below, a fall height of 11 feet 3 inches. Emergency services were called. The Humbolt Bay Fire Department responded and transported Employee #1 to St. Joseph Medical Center, where he was admitted and treated for a spinal fracture. He required spinal surgery. Employee #1 remained hospitalized for six days. This event was reported to Cal/OSHA by the Humbolt Bay Fire Department. Cal/OSHA initiated its investigation on December 10, 2013.
