Narrative
The injured employee was working on a spout when he asked another employee to hand him a ladder. Once the other employee had the ladder ready, the injured employee started walking toward the ladder, stepped into the open floor hatch gate, and fell about 3 feet and also contacted the ladder hatch. He was able to suspend himself with his elbows and hands. He then lifted himself up and was able to lean over, getting onto the platform. The employee was hospitalized with a fractured left tibia and required surgery.
