Roofer killed in fall from chalet roof

23/07/2026 · Les Diablerets (VD) · Construction · Fatal

A 39-year-old roofer fell several metres from the lower part of the roof for reasons not yet known. Colleagues raised the alarm.

The eaves are a fall edge too: from 3 m on roofs you need edge protection or scaffolding with a catch barrier – from the first to the last day.
