Worker falls through a roof

28/09/2026 · Eschlikon (TG) · Construction · Seriously injured

Three men were working on a commercial roof. One, aged 36, fell through the roof to the ground.

Not every roof can bear a person: skylights, fibre-cement sheets and old coverings give way without warning. Cover fragile areas or install safety nets before work starts.
