Contract employee was leaving the house of the dragline via the staircase. Once EE reached the bottom step, EE lost EE's balance and began to fall to the dragline shoe below (25 inches). EE's momentum carried EE forward, where EE fell off the dragline shoe to the ground below (51 inches). The impact to the ground resulted in 2 fractured vertebrae and lacerations to EE's face.
