SLIP OR FALL OF PERSON
Shumaker Trucking & Excavating Contractors Inc · Fall from ladders
The miner was climbing down a fixed ladder on a mobile screening plant, when he misplaced footing on the rung, this caused him to lose his hand holds and fall approx 4 ft backwards and twist his right knee. He stated the rung was not icy and that he just misstepped. He had been assisting in screen changing.
