Incident on Oct 4, 2023 (fatal): Employee is killed in fall from roof
At 5:00 pm, on October 4, 2023, Employee #1 was working for a construction framing contractor. Employee #1 was performing shingle repair work on a two-story residential 11-unit apartment building. The contractor was performing both interior remodeling and a roof replacement for the 11-unit apartment complex. Coworkers were in the process of replacing shingles on the 11-unit apartment building. There were 4 employees on the roof at the time of the incident. Witnesses stated Employee #1 finished moving pieces of OSB sheathing onto the roof to perform patchwork after removing the old shingles when he stepped on a full sheet of OSB while walking on the roof. The sheet of OSB began to slide down the roof causing Employee #1 to slide with the OSB. Employee #1 was unable to stop himself from sliding off the roof and landed on a concrete patio 16 feet and 9 inches below leading to a fatality. Employee #1 was not wearing fall protection.
