[RE-wrenches] deadly fall off of roof

[Bill Brooks]

Marco,

 

The company was purposely not identified. I believe the young man fell
through a skylight while moving equipment during construction. Much more
likely way to die since most people assume a skylight will bear their weight
if they fall against it. Edge of roof falls definitely occur, but self
preservation instincts are usually much more heightened in these areas.

 

Bill.

A 30-year-old PV installer fell to his death back in April at job site in
CA.  He backed off of a roof accidentally and was not wearing any fall
protection.

 

I have the official report of the accident, but the "multi-state
full-service solar provider" that has "approximately 650 employees" was not
identified.

 

Anyone know which company this was?

 

Thanks,

marco
