Narrative

An employee was carrying tools while walking down concrete steps. When he placed his left foot on the third step, he slipped and tried to catch himself by putting his right foot on the step below. His right foot landed awkwardly on the step, resulting in two broken bones in his right leg. He was hospitalized for surgery.
