Narrative

While rock dusting was in progress the electrician was traveling (crawling) up #6 entry on the 001-0 Unit Supersection and caught his left ear on a belt hanger that was in the top for a shuttle car anchor. This resulted in a laceration that required (6) sutures. This is to report medical treatment only. No days were lost.
