## Narrative

An employee was checking (from an 8-foot A-frame ladder) the inside of an asphalt drum through the chute's opening to make sure there was no clogging. As he was descending from the ladder, his feet became tangled on the fourth rung and he fell backwards about 3 feet to the gravel floor. He injured his left ankle and lacerated the back of his head, requiring hospitalization.
