Narrative

An employee was standing on a step ladder and operating a hydraulic jack. The jack began shifting, causing the ladder to tip to the left. The employee caught himself as he was stepping down from the third rung of the ladder. When he stepped to the floor, his left foot rolled and twisted under his body weight, resulting in fractures to his tibia and fibula above the ankle.
