Event: 04/24/1998

Employee killed in fall through roof insulation cover

At approximately 9:00 a.m. on April 24, 1998, Employee #1, a laborer, was helping to install a steel deck roof on a large tilt-up structure. He walked out to the leading edge of the roof deck and then stepped onto a white vinyl sheet used to support the insulation. Employee #1 fell 33 ft 6 in. through the vinyl sheet onto a concrete floor. He was killed. The glare of the morning sun may have prevented Employee #1 from being able to distinguish between the surface of the steel roof deck and that of the white vinyl.
