Narrative

A maintenance employee was near the chipper room area outside of the building using an extension ladder to inspect the 18-inch metal blower pipe that goes into the silo. The base of the ladder kicked out, causing the employee and the ladder to fall approximately 10-12 feet to the ground. The employee's left arm was caught underneath the ladder and all three bones in the arm were broken.
