Narrative
An employee was standing at the edge of an approximately 48-inch diameter hole that was approximately 18 feet deep. The employee was using a winch cable off the back of a drilling rig with a hook on it, attempting to retrieve a shovel that had fallen into the hole, when he lost his footing and fell approximately 18 feet to the bottom of the hole. He broke his right leg in two places with possible additional injuries to the left leg.
