Narrative

The preheater elevator doors had to be manually closed. EE usually used a step ladder to reach the mechanism above the doors safely. The ladder was not in the elevator. There were accessible stairs, but EE chose to climb the escape hatch steps to try & reach the mechanism. As he was operating the manual closure he slipped off the steps & fell inside the elevator floor
