Narrative

An employee climbed a 12-foot A-frame ladder to push concrete blocks that had shifted from the top of the loading dock retaining wall back into a straight line. A section of block fell off the wall and hit the ladder, causing the employee to fall 8 to 10 feet. His left ankle was caught on one of the rungs and he used his left hand to brace his fall. He broke his left ankle and left wrist and was hospitalized.
