Narrative

The injured employee stepped out from under the canopy of a Fletcher RRII bolter to go to the back of the machine to get some supplies when he was struck by a piece of roof coal measuring 21"" X 15"" X 5"". The impact drove his hard hat onto his safety glasses causing a laceration to the bridge and left side of his nose that required 12 sutures to close.
