Narrative

On October 26, 2019, a crew was performing roofing work in a commercial building. At approximately 4:30 PM, wind was blowing away the TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) that an employee was installing. The employee tried to grab the TPO and the wind caused the employee to back up towards an old skylight. The skylight broke and the employee fell approximately 50 ft. to the concrete floor. The employee sustained a brain injury and a broken arm and leg.
