Narrative

An employee was working to string cable at a temporary asphalt facility. He had been taking cable from the silos to the control room. He used a ladder to get to another silo and connect a cable. He slipped on the ladder and fell. A cable-supporting hook next to the ladder impaled and tore his right bicep. The employee required surgery.
