An employee was creeling on a beamer. The employee was tying in (from a semi-crouched position) a package on the bottom row of the creel. As the employee finished tying in the package, the employee side-stepped (without standing) to start tying in another package that was on the same row, but one creel section over. While side-stepping, the employee's left foot hit the heel of the right foot, causing the employee to fall from the same level to the floor. The employee landed on the concrete floor, suffering a partial fracture to the left hip on the exterior of the bone.
