Roofers were repairing and replacing a roof at a Baton Rouge job site when one of them lost their footing, stepped on and fell about 30 feet through a skylight.
According to OSHA, the fatality could have been prevented if the Texas-based contractor heeded a citation issued a month prior to the incident for failing to provide a personal fall arrest system.
