Narrative

EE was moving a section of grating in place on a platform. He decided to do it on his own and not wait for help. EE was tied off to a handrail with one lanyard & was using the other to drag the grating. He pulled the grating too far & it fell 15 ft, causing him to be pulled down against the existing grating he was standing on. EE was released to return to work the following day.
