Narrative

EE was injured during roof bolting procedures. He inserted the drill steel into the drill pot of a dual head roof bolter, raised the boom to start the drilling process. When the drill steel came in contact with the roof a small piece of draw rock fell measuring approx 1' x 1' & 0 to 1"" thick striking him on the forearm causing a laceration that required four sutures to close.
