Narrative

An employee was standing on a ladder next to a motor to obtain a measurement reading from a dial indicator. The employee leaned over the motor and inadvertently leaned onto a overhead crane remote, causing the motor to fall toward the employee. The employee jumped from the ladder to prevent being struck by the motor and fell 10 feet to the concrete floor, resulting in a right rib fracture, a right scapula fracture, and contusions.
