Narrative

EE was moving a roof bolter using the boom controls. A large rock fell out between roof bolts and struck him on top of the head, between his shoulders and down his right leg. The rock pinned him to the ground. He had abrasions to the top of his head, soreness to the shoulders and right knee. July 26 he was taken off work by a Dr. to repair a torn meniscus on his right knee.
