Narrative

Before the crew could move the mine office platform, the employee pushed the brattice back in order to prevent the platform from contacting it. Loose salt fell from the rib behind the brattice, pushing the employee into the platform. The rib scale was not visible due to the brattice. The employee was released to work with restrictions.
