## Narrative

An employee was attempting to roll a tarp over product loaded on a trailer, but the tarp was frozen due to ice buildup. He then climbed to the top step of the trailer and began to pull on the stuck tarp string. As he pulled on the tarp, it became free, causing him to lose his balance and fall approximately 7 feet to the ground. He broke his right leg.
