  On November 7, 2007, a framing contractor died when he fell from a roof. The 31-year-old contractor was working on a new single-family house. He went on to the house's 7/12 pitch roof to inspect the nails in the roof's sheathing that his employee had installed. He unhooked his lanyard from an anchor point and as he was moving to hook it to another anchor point he fell 24 feet from the roof, landing on the ground below. Description provided by NIOSH
