Narrative

Employee had just finished loading material on the roof bolter and had walked back up to the boom controls. He had removed his gloves to eat an orange slice and noticed a couple of roof bolts that were out of place on his tray. When he reached out to straighten them up a small thin rock fell from the roof and struck his hand causing a laceration to the knuckle area.
