Narrative

While replacing burned out lighting, 2 employees used the drill mast as a means of working from heights. The drill was used in the similitude of a fireman's ladder to raise and lower the employee to reach the lighting mentioned above. This resulted in the employee's foot being caught in between the drill mast and the pedestal resulting in a crushing injury of the left foot.
