Narrative

Employee climbed 2 or 3 rungs up a 6 foot ladder to grease dryer trunnions. The ladder at top was not making contact with concrete support but rather with a metal rail at the 3 foot point. Shifting his weight above this point caused the rail to act as a fulcrum point and the bottom to slide out from under him. He landed and re-injured his previously injured left foot.
