Narrative

The employee was pushing an electrical motor off of an elevated platform. The employee was squatted down pushing the motor through an accessway in the handrails below a safety chain. It appears that when the motor rolled off it caught on the employee's gloves or himself and pulled him off the platform. He fell approximately 15 ft. to the ground.
