A 27-year-old and several others were employed by a company to remove and replace the roof of a warehouse. There was no safe system prepared before the work began and no safety precautions were in place. The young man, who had never worked on a roof before, stepped backwards onto a fragile roof light on an adjoining warehouse, which gave way. He fell nearly 7m landing on the ground floor directly below, and died as a result of his injuries.
