Narrative

EE was attempting to climb onto the 850 John Deere dozer. He had placed one foot on the step. When he tried to place the 2nd foot on the step, that foot slipped in the snow. He was holding onto the handrail. When his foot slipped, it caused him to twist and fall against the tracks of the dozer, pulling a muscle and pinching a nerve in his back.
