## Narrative

Roof bolter operator was drilling roof in x-cut #2 to #1. The steels clogged up so he removed them from the roof. He struck the starter steel on the boom of the bolter. The mud in the steel blew out the back end of the steel striking him in the left eye with mud. He was wearing safety glasses. We washed his eye & transported him to ER for further treatment.
