The two instances are not the same. The skylight accident happened previous to April 2010, and the company is listed in the accident report , but I don't recall the name. They are a large CA electrical contractor.

Marco,



The company was purposely not identified. I believe the young man fell through a skylight while moving equipment during construction. Much more likely way to die since most people assume a skylight will bear their weight if they fall against it. Edge of roof falls definitely occur, but self preservation instincts are usually much more heightened in these areas.

Subject: [RE-wrenches] deadly fall off of roof



A 30-year-old PV installer fell to his death back in April at job site in CA. He backed off of a roof accidentally and was not wearing any fall protection.



I have the official report of the accident, but the “multi-state ful l-service solar provider” that has “approximately 650 employees” was not identified.



Anyone know which company this was?



Thanks,

marco
