Employee had filled the hydraulic tank on the dozer and was dismounting when he slipped and fell. His right foot was caught behind the pusharm and he fell backwards to the ground twisting his right knee. Either strained knee or possibly torn ligament. Still awaiting evaluation of xrays/scans by medical personnel.
