Employee is killed when he falls from steep roof

At approximately 8:00 a.m. on July 27, 2004, two employees arrived on site to continue restoration of a church roof. Employee #1 ascended to the roof by ladder on the north side of the church, followed by Employee #2. Employee #1 proceeded to climb to the peak of the roof, where he stood while employee #2 climbed the ladder. Employee #1 lost his balance and fell on the roof. He continued to slide 30 feet down the side of the steep (slope: 5.5 to 12) roof. After reaching the gutter at the edge of the roof, he continued to fall 30 feet to the concrete sidewalk below. The surface of the roof had been covered with sheets of moisture guard insulation, which had accumulated morning dew making it slippery. As a result of the accident, the employee was hospitalized with severe head trauma and died the following day.
