Fall in pit sprains worker's ankle.
A worker was checking the result of machine paint in a repair shop. He had his attention distracted by a name written on the attachment, and inadvertently fell off in a pit before him. He sprained his right ankle.



Corrective Action
1. Make it a habit to check all around yourself for safety prior to getting started with the day's work.
2. Light up the workplace sufficiently. Paint marks around a pit warning against danger of fall.
