Narrative

An employee was on the back of a digger derrick, prepping the unit for an endurance test. The employee was using a torque wrench to remove bolts for analysis. As the employee was applying force, the socket slipped from the bolt resulting in a loss of balance. The employee fell 4' 7" from the back of the truck onto the ground. The employee landed on both feet and sustained a broken left ankle that required surgery.
