03/01/21 WorkersCompensation.com West Farmington, OH (WorkersCompensation.com) - A 14-year-old boy working on the roof of a Berea townhome without required fall protection suffered critical injuries when he fell 20-feet to the ground. Immediately following this serious incident, the company's owner and three other workers put on personal fall arrest equipment to complete the roofing work in an apparent attempt to conceal the fact that fall protection was not in use at the time of the injury. The equipment had been in the employer's job trailer onsite when the boy fell. Double M Roofing & Construction LLC owner, Melvin Schmucker, attempted to hide the company's safety failures, but footage from a nearby security camera showed the boy and three other employees working without fall protection equipment on Dec. 17, 2020.
