Narrative

An employee was on the second floor of a job site, which had a safety rail system around the perimeter. He was bending over to pick up a piece of wire mesh when he lost his balance and grabbed for the safety rail. One of the uprights then detached, allowing him to fall to the first floor (concrete). He broke his right leg.
