Narrative

An employee had climbed a 32-foot extension ladder to a second story rooftop of a residential home to install HVAC components. He walked to the peak of the roof where a temporary roof anchor was installed. While reaching to connect his lifeline to the roof anchor, his feet slipped on a moisture barrier that was wet due to melted ice. He slid down the roof and then fell approximately 19 feet, 10 inches to the ground. The employee sustained a scaphoid fracture to the left wrist.
