## Narrative

EE changed the fuel filter on the dozer. He practiced proper dismounting procedures by using 3 points of contact. However, as he took his final step to the ground, his right foot contacted a piece of shale. (Approximate size: 4""x6""x4"" thick). This caused his right foot to roll laterally. X-rays determined he had a very minute chip in the bone on the right foot.
