Narrative
On July 17, 2015, at approximately 1:45pm, an employee was hospitalized after suffering two broken bones to his lower left leg. Before the incident, the employee was standing on the third rung of a 12-foot stepladder, tightening bolts on a flange with a torque wrench. While applying pressure to the wrench, a reducer on the wrench broke, causing the employee to lose his balance. As he stepped down 34" to the gravel surface, he landed awkwardly on his left foot, causing fractures.
