## Narrative

Man was working on the 4th floor of a surface mill when he was asked to go to the bottom level and act as a hole watch. Although the stairs were right next to the work area, he went approx. 60' to a manlift belt. He caught his right heel on the upper floor grating as the platform went down, tripping him back and causing him to fall off the platform about 7' to the deck below.
