Narrative

The employee stated he was moving the continuous miner to help free up a roof bolt machine that was hung up when the miner itself got hung up. The employee & 3 other employees were putting blocking under the cat pads & the operator was on the other side of the miner with the remote. The operator let the stab jack up & mashed the EE's finger between the cat pad & the crib block.
