Narrative

The employee was removing the filter housing, to change the fuel CNG filter on a truck while standing on the first step of the stepladder. As EE put force on the pry bar, it caused the socket to slip off the nut, causing EE to fall from the ladder. EE landed on EE's left leg, where EE thought EE pulled a muscle.
