Narrative

An employee was climbing a 6-foot step ladder to access the back of a flatbed crash truck. He realized he needed to move the ladder and climbed down. As he stepped down to the first step, he lost his balance and fell to the concrete floor, twisting and landing on his hip. He suffered a fracture at the top of a femur.
