Narrative

The employee was removing discarded roof bolts and sreen from a waste rock dump in preparation to muck the waste rock for fill in a shop floor before concrete is poured. When he pulled a bolt free, a rock of unknown size rolled down the pile striking his right hand, causing a laceration to his middle finger.
