Facts of Construction Accident Indiana
Workers were installing a new metal roof on their employer's garage. The workers were not using any fall protection equipment. A piece of sheet metal was moved by high wind. The sheet metal knocked a worker off the roof. He struck a dumpster with his head. The impact caused a traumatic brain injury. He died from this craniocerebral blunt force injury.
Indiana State FACE Investigators' Recommendations to Prevent Similar Construction Fatalities
- Provide fall protection equipment and ensure that it is worn by all employees working at elevations when the potential for a serious fall exists.
- Ensure that employees work at elevations only when the weather conditions are suitable for the work task at hand.
- Encourage workers to actively participate in work place safety including the recognition and avoidance of unsafe work conditions.
