## Narrative

A Mechanic suffered a sprained right knee after slipping and falling.  While performing an equipment inspection, the mechanic stepped over a 12"" high concrete retaining wall. The area behind the retaining wall was very slippery due to heavy rain combined with kaolin dust. As the mechanic stepped over the retaining wall, he lost his footing and slipped resulting in a fall.
