Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) Project for New Jersey: Iron Worker Dies After Falling 18 Feet While Constructing a Roof
August 6, 1996, a 34-year-old iron worker was killed after he fell from the roof of a building under construction. The incident occurred at the construction site of a pre-engineered (prefabricated) steel storage building that was being assembled at a large nursing home facility. The victim and a co-worker were attaching the steel roof panels to the building when the victim went to the edge of the roof to drive in a screw. He was leaning over the roof plate with a screw gun when he apparently slipped or lost his balance, falling 18 feet to the ground below.
