Narrative

An employee was inside a motor/concrete pit of a roughing mill to put a cover on the motor. The employee reached to grab a ladder that was handed to him by a co-worker. He had one foot on a 3x3 fiberglass grating cover that was in the middle of the pit when the grate slid, causing the employee to fall through. The employee sustained a back injury.
