Narrative

The employee was exiting an 80 ton crane while holding onto the provided handrails. The employee planted their right foot on the top platform just outside the cab and started to bring the left leg to the step when the right foot slipped causing them to lose their footing. The employee maintained a grip on the left cab handrail which prevented them from further falling to the ground
