## Narrative

On August 30, 2019, four employees were working from the top of a commercial building, removing the old roof and installing a new roof. One of them fell through a flush-mounted fiberglass skylight, landing on the concrete floor about 12 feet below. He suffered major head trauma and was hospitalized. Fall protection was being worn, but the safety lanyard was not tied off, at the time of the incident.
