Narrative

An employee was on a service call, replacing a sensor on a fleet truck. He stood on a battery box, and put his right leg on a cylinder to help hold his balance. His hands were occupied with hand tools in a position above his head. His left foot slipped, putting all of his body weight on his right foot and resulting in a fracture below the knee.
