maybe they will change how they handle contractors and repair people

not exactly what you want your store to be known for


Dead is dead.
Nothing the store could do other than escort the serviceman while he
was there, or install cameras to watch the roof and everything, then
have someone monitoring the camera's. Then what, have the escort be a
certified EMT? Just in case?
No reason for changing anything other than perhaps the store managers
awareness of on site personnel.



You pose totally ridiculous "solutions" - then say
nothing can be done .. Duh.
Let's hope you are never in charge of worker safety -
especially any young workers who are too green to
challenge you.
1. working alone in a hazardous job / location


Not the customer's issue


Actually, it can be. I wouldn't bet on the labour board totally
absolving you of responsibility

2. check-in / check-out daily or more


That'll help a lot with a heart attack. So he's only dead a day
instead of three. So what?

3. communication checks from job site


Not the customer's issue.

These are just a quick few topics of conversation for
the investigators to consider - and recommend
improvements.


None would have saved his life. Anything else is just a waste of
time.
