## Narrative

There are four steps with handrails to enter/exit the office. When walking down the steps exiting the plant office the employee slipped on the first step losing their balance and fell backward on the steps and slid to the bottom straining their lower back. A contributing factor to the incident was the steps are wood and it had recently rained making the steps slick.
