Final narrative
The injured employee was assisting a crew to install a crane rail on an overhead crane girder. He was on the 40' x 10' grated surface between the crane rails positioning himself to receive the end of the crane rail. The crane rail was being pushed on rollers toward the employee's location and as he tried to pry the end of the crane rail up to get it on top of the next roller, he lost his balance and fell 36 feet to the ground below. The employee sustained fractures to their right ankle, pelvis, and left arm. The employee was wearing a personal fall arrest system, but was not tied off at the time.
