Narrative

An employee was reroofing a flat roof of a single story dwelling. The employee went to get a chalk line from the ground. He then climbed back up the ladder and knelt down on the edge of the roof to snap the chalk line. The roof gave way and he fell 8 feet 4 inches onto a pile of landscaping posts and sustained fractured ribs. The employee was wearing fall protection, but it was not connected at the time of the fall.
