Narrative

An employee had been framing the roof deck and was tied off using a personal fall arrest system. A violent thunderstorm occurred, and the employee began to exit the roof. He unhooked his lanyard when he got within 2 feet of the extension ladder used to access and exit the roof. He slipped and fell 12 feet to the concrete floor below and sustained a head injury.
