Wrenches:
 
When you have 7 minutes, check out this video on 'fall restraint'  -
you may get dizzy (as I did) and
you may wonder, as I did, 
HTF they built it in the first place:

The two instances are not the same. The skylight accident happened  
previous to April 2010, and the company is listed in the accident report  , but I 
don't recall the name. They are a large CA electrical  contractor.

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.

Subject: [RE-wrenches] deadly fall  off of roof

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
