Attapulgite Mining Inc · Fall to the walkway or working surface

Employee had finished his shift & was ready to leave site from parking lot. He remembers leaving his overshirt in work area & went back to get it. It had rained much of the day & the area he was walking through was wet. He slipped in a wet spot, caught himself with his left arm/hand/wrist. The result was he broke the tip of a bone in his wrist.
