Mechanic
sprains ankle, jumping off machine |
A mechanic was trying
to drain hydraulic oil as a prior step for replacing a hydraulic pump and
found a necessary tool was not ready at hand. He jumped off the machine to
fetch the tool, but unfortunately landed on a pebble and had his right
ankle sprained. No appropriate ladder was available to him, as the pump
replacement took place on a jobsite. |
