Narrative

An employee was on an 8-foot A-frame ladder, cutting sheetrock to attach an electrical terminal box. His elbow hit the terminal box and he was thrown off balance, falling to the floor from about four rungs up. He suffered a dislocated right wrist and a cut from a metal bracelet he was wearing.
