Narrative

EE was removing old lighting conduit, using a 10ft ladder. He was wearing fall protection, tied off to a structure in front of him, he could not tie off overhead. The conduit came out of its brackets, striking him on the chest and knocking him off of the ladder. The length of his lanyard allowed him to fall to the floor. He landed on his feet, spraining his left ankle.
