Narrative

On January 30, 2020, an employee was quoting repairs on a cooling tower basin. He was standing on the concrete area that the boilers are on, discussing the repairs with the customer and a subcontractor. He attempted to step off of the platform but was closer to the edge than he realized, causing him to lose balance and fall about 20 inches to the ground below. He suffered a broken hip and broken right wrist.
