Narrative

While getting on the ladder of the rail car, the employee's foot slipped off the rung, causing the employee to fall approx 3 feet to the ground. The employee did have 3 points of contact but the fall caused the employee to land on the ground and hit his head against the rail. The rung of the ladder did have frost on it and contributed to the fall.
