Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) Report for Oregon: Roofer's Family Member Helping at Worksite Died After Falling Through Skylight
A 19-year-old family member of a self-employed roofing contractor died when he fell through a skylight to a concrete floor 35 feet below. The victim was assisting the roofer repair water leaks on the flat roof of a commercial warehouse. The incident occurred at the completion of the two-day project. The victim was walking backwards to roll up a torch hose when he apparently tripped or stepped into the skylight. The acrylic plastic domed skylight shattered under his weight and the victim fell approximately 35 feet to the concrete floor. The victim's father immediately called for assistance and notified emergency services. The victim was transported to a local emergency room where he died a short time later.
