Employee broke his tibia and fibula from trip and fall

At approximately 1:30 p.m. on October 6, 2003, an employee was working as a tool room attendant at British Petroleum, a general contractor specializing in major oil refinery construction. Crew members were removing old electrical conduit and grading the tool room area at the ground level. He was checking equipment in the area under renovation and while stepping over a nylon barricade tape that was approximately 2 feet off the ground with his left foot; his right foot became caught on the nylon tape.
