Abstract: At approximately 7:00 a.m. on August 15, 1985, Employee #1, age 20, and three coworkers were on a roof shaking out 2 ft wide by 40 ft long sections of roofing material. The sections were to be draped over two purlin supports, with each panel having a 7 ft overlap. Employee #1 was laying out the anchor clips and took two steps onto a section when he fell 32 ft onto a pile of loose fill dirt. He landed on his feet, and fractured a lower vertebra and his left wrist. Employee #1 and a coworker indicated that the purlins were not overlapped properly.
