## Narrative

A 6' step ladder was used to access the right side door of a trailer.  As the employee repositioned himself, he lost his balance and his feet slipped off the edge of the door jamb causing him to fall approximately 5' to the ground. As he fell, his back contacted the outer edge of the door jamb causing an abrasion/impact wound resulting in 3 broken ribs.
