Incident on Mar 20, 2018 (fatal): Employee fall 8 feet through carport roof and is killed
At 8:30 a.m. on March 20, 2018, Employee #1, a foreman, was working with his roofing crew, tearing off an existing roof of an apartment complex. The crew was using hand tools (shovels, pitch fork, wheelbarrow, and steel pry bar) to tear off the roof. Employee #1 used an extension ladder to access the top of the carport. As Employee #1 walked across the carport roof, the roof material gave way beneath him, and he fell eight feet to the concrete surface below. As Employee #1 fell through the carport, he struck his head against the roof, and then on the concrete surface below. At the time of the event, Employee #1 was wearing a hard hat. Employee #1 was transported to a nearby medical center where he was treated; however, died seven days later.
