On Saturday, July 2, 2016, at approximately 10:35 a.m., an employee was working alone on the inside of an aircraft engine to repair its blades. The employee was attempting to leave the engine compartment when the work mat beneath him slipped, causing him to slide out of the engine compartment. As he slid out of the engine compartment, his foot became tangled in the nearby portable A-frame step-ladder that he used to access that compartment. He then fell about 3 to 4 feet to the adjacent ground level and broke his right hip, requiring hospitalization.
