Narrative

An employee was putting PVC pipe together while on a ladder while a coworker held the bottom of the ladder. The coworker let go of the ladder and stepped around the corner to check if the placement of the PVC was correct. The ladder slipped and the employee fell to a cement pad below, breaking a bone above the ankle.
