Narrative

The operator was dismounting the dozer at the end of shift. As they were dismounting, left foot slipped from the installed foot step and they fell approximately 5' to the ground, landing on right leg. When they got up they said their leg didn't hurt much so they just went home. The next morning they could hardly move their right knee and it was painful. They then went to doctor.
