Narrative

Employee was bolting the back when a slab of rock came down and hit the leg of the machine. The machine kicked over and the head of the jack leg drill hit him in the left ribs. This was originally considered a first aid injury, but he had some problems later on and had to see doctor again & ended up with a restricted duty release.
