Narrative

An employee was using a 3-foot ladder to replace the molding above the door outside an apartment unit. While descending the ladder, the employee fell and missed the last step as the right leg of the ladder gave way. The employee then fell to the floor and landed on his left hip, resulting in a hip fracture.
