Narrative

EE & co-workers were standing near the front of the RRII when the accident occurred. Scoop operator was scaling down a piece of draw rock that measured approx 3'x 3'x 3/4"". When rock came down it struck a piece of drill steel that was hanging over the edge of the roof bolter supply tray. This caused drill steel to come up & hit EE on right cheekbone.
