In a horrifying video released last week, a 14-year-old working on a roof with Double M Roofing & Construction is seen slipping. The surveillance video, filmed on Dec. 17, 2020, pauses before showing the worker falling 20 feet to the ground.
It’s just one of the many fall-related roofing incidents that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has recently reported on, bringing to mind the prediction made by Cotney Attorneys & Consultants CEO Trent Coney in his 2021 State of the Industry analysis.
