Narrative

Checking the coolant level on the 982M. To do this the hood is raised on the machine and the employee climbs onto the rear step and visually inspects the coolant tank. EE did so and while climbing down from the step EE slipped, landing on the ground on their feet. EE then moved backwards, tripping over a wheel chock on the ground and landed on top of the wheel chock on their back.
