## Narrative

Employee approached a haul truck parked at the ready line.  He lifted his left foot to step onto the lower step of the access ladder, and felt a `pop' in his right knee.  He immediately stopped on the ladder, and waited for the situation to feel better. After a few moments, he continued on up the ladder, and completed the work on the door, and then exited the truck.
