Narrative

An employee was on an A-frame ladder pulling a wire through a conduit. The pressure caused the head to break from the fish tape, which caused the employee to lose his balance and fall approximately 5 feet, striking his head on the concrete. The employee sustained a brain bleed and injuries to the back of his head that required stitches.
