SLIP OR FALL OF PERSON at Quality Aggregates Inc
While greasing the equipment, the operator bent over to clean a grease fitting. The next thing he can remember is lying on the ground. He fell from an opening in the cat walk (enter/exit ladder) of the excavator/hammer to the ground (approx. 6 feet). Another employee found him and called for help. The employee was transfered to the local ER and evaluated.
