Narrative

An employee was tracing overhead conduit in a mechanical room. The room has HVAC ductwork that runs from the ceiling down to 2' x 2' louvers in the floor. As the employee was looking up at the conduit, he stepped backwards and fell through one of the louvers approximately 10 feet to a lower level, suffering a head injury.
