Summary
An investigation records a worker’s knee injury after missing the final stair while responding to a production alarm. It identifies poor visual distinction between the step and deck, with fatigue and darkness among possible contributing factors. Delayed reporting prevented an onsite investigation and resulted in a non-compliance notice.
