Narrative

Employee was going restart a compressor. He was in a hurry and lost his balance. He stumbled forward and tried to run forward to catch himself. When he reached the point to where there is a 4"" step down in the floor, he lost control even more. He ran into a switchgear cabinet causing a laceration to his right elbow that required stiches.
