## Narrative

A survey instrument operator was watching the survey crew chief perform a topographic survey on an existing bridge abutment wingwall. The employee moved down the side slope behind the wingwall to take survey shots of the top of the wingwall. He slipped and fell over a 15-foot abutment wall, onto wood brush and the ground below, landing on his back. The employee sustained a fractured vertebra in his back.
