STEPPING OR KNEELING ON OBJECT at West Ridge Resources Inc
EE was shoveling the ribs to clean up the first cuttings, as he stepped to turn around he stepped on a lump of coal and twisted his left knee. EE worked the remainder of his shift and worked the next day and then went to the Doctor. The Doctor released him to return to work but ordered an MRI be taken. After the MRI on 11/14/2007 the EE underwent surgery on his left knee.
