I was installing wood strips on the loading ramp of the barge loading facility. It had been raining and had let up to a drizzle. I was on the ramp and turned around to pick up another strip of wood. When I turned around to take a step, my right leg slipped out from under me. I continued to do what I was doing and finished the task I started. I finished work and went home.
