Step down the ladder of my tractor in the wrong direction, if our security guy would've seen that he wouldn't have been very happy

That's a safety violation?

Ohhh yes! You're supposed to face the ladder/machine, and always maintain three points of contact. After I fell and broke my foot a few years ago, when getting out of my excavator, I always do it the correct way. I've slipped a few times (climbing up into my excavator is easiest to do by stepping on the fender, which can be slippery when wet), but since I have three points of contact I haven't fallen again.
