Abstract: On February 1, 2000, Employee #1 was working on the roof of a warehouse that was to be converted to a church auditorium and classrooms. Fifteen of the 130 existing skylights on the roof of the warehouse were to be used for installation of air conditioning units. Employee was measuring and marking which skylights were to be fitted with units. None of the existing skylights had covers or guardrails to protect employees from falls.
