There is extendable ladder (yellow in photo) built into the fwd side of the cargo loader to access the upper platform. Loader controls/operator would normally be there. When a loader or aircraft load systems are not working 100% there may be more than on worker on the upper platform assisting. Negotiating their way down quickly during a fire event could have led to a fall.
