Narrative

The conveyor and screen attendant were sent to the P-drive building to clean dirty floors. As he was by P-7A head pulley area, moving water hoses so he could do his job, his foot got caught in the hose. Suddenly, as he stepped down on the hose, his right ankle rolled to the side. The incident resulted in a fractured ankle.
