Fall from machine

EE was standing on the tracks of the excavator to fuel. EE gave a thumbs up sign to another operator in the area. The fuel truck driver thought the signal was to ee and the fueling process was complete. The fuel truck driver began to pull away while fueling was still in progress. The operator jumped off the tracks (approximately 2 ft). EE fell onto right shoulder.
