Event: 01/18/1993

Employee killed in fall through skylight

Employee #1 and a coworker were working on a flat 32 ft high roof erecting a scaffold next to a 12 ft high wall. When the scaffold was complete, the coworker turned to climb down. Over his shoulder from he saw Employee #1 jumping from the wall to the roof below. He landed on a snow-covered, plastic bubble skylight. The skylight failed to support his weight, and Employee #1 fell 32 ft to the floor and was killed. The snow piled on the roof and on the skylight created the illusion of a snow drift.
