Narrative

An employee was removing a metal structure used to hold conduit in place during a demolition task. When the material was cut loose, the heavy end of the metal frame swung around and struck the bottom of the ladder the employee was standing on. The ladder was knocked over and the employee fell to the floor from the second step, resulting in a left femur fracture.
