Narrative

EE was assisting in replacing LCM Cat wear strips. The miner was elevated on cribs for the repairs to an approximate height of 5.5 feet. Repairs were completed. EE climbed on top of the miner to take down the work area lights. To get off the top of the miner, EE got on his hands and knees and jumped off backwards. Upon landing he twisted the left ankle.
