Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:25 a.m. on January 31, 2014, Employee #1, Coworker #1, and Coworker #2 were part of an 11-worker crew, employed by Step Above Home Maintenance, who were reroofing a residential building. The roof had a pitch of 8/12. The north side of the roof was being stripped and shingled. Employee #1, Coworker #1, and Coworker #2 moved to the south side of the roof to remove snow and begin to tear off the existing shingles. As Coworkers #1 and #2 waited for cleats to be installed, Employee #1 began to remove shingles. As he pushed a pile of shingles to the eaves, he slipped and fell off the roof to the ground below, a fall height of approximately 20 feet. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital, admitted, and treated for a fractured skull. Twelve days into his hospitalization, Employee #1 died from the fall injuries. This fatality was investigated by Michigan OSHA.
