Narrative

An extension ladder was being used to access the work area. EE was preparing to mark the holes for installation of the rubber seal. He stated that as he climbed the ladder, he stopped momentarily on the first rung before proceeding. He then climbed to the third rung. The ladder then slipped out from underneath him, causing him to fall and strike his jaw on the Crusher frame.
