A 25-year-old roofer has died after falling from the roof of a barn on Dec. 28. Police say the man died due to cardiac arrest while waiting to be airlifted to a hospital.
A new report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that the rate of fatalities among roofers was among the highest of all occupations in 2018.
Today's news is full of stories of roofing contractors from every state being OSHA-cited and heavily penalized for willful violations, as well as successfully sued for criminal and civil negligence for failing to provide fall protection for their employees. Why?
Preliminary results from the Bureau of Labor Statistics' National Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries released this week show a reduction in the number of fatal work injuries in 2012 compared with 2011.
