Narrative

While exiting the machine to take a break using the ladder handrail system the employee losing grip on a grease contaminated handrail resulted in a fall from the equipment approximately 3-4 feet to the quarry sand surface. This placed the operator off work and modified duty as of 05/11/2026 due to a lumbar strain/sprain.
