Narrative

An employee was climbing an 8-foot fixed ladder. When he reached the platform at the top, he let go of the railing on the ladder and grabbed the inward swinging safety gate. When he removed his first hand to grab the gate, his second hand slipped off the railing. He fell to the floor below, striking his elbow on the floor. He suffered a fractured humerus and elbow tip as well as an open wound contusion.
