Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) Report for Maryland: Carpenter Dies Following 30 Foot Fall Through Deteriorated Roof While Estimating Job
A 70-year-old carpenter (the victim) fell through a barn roof while taking measurements in preparation to replace the roof of the building. The victim had arrived at the site during a heavy rain storm, exited the vehicle, and accessed the roof from a low hanging eave. The barn was built against a slope so the eave of the roof on the uphill side of the barn was about 2 1/2 feet above ground level. The victim began to walk up the slope of the roof with a measuring tape trailing behind and a notebook and pencil in hand. As he reached an area about 16 feet above the eave the roof gave way and he fell through the roof landing on the concrete floor thirty feet below. A witness went immediately to his aid, but was unable to find a pulse. The witness went to the farm house and called 911 to notify the local emergency medical services unit (EMS) which responded a short time later and pronounced the victim dead at the scene.
