Narrative

Member states he was helping to build a stoppings when he injured his back. He never reported the accident to the foreman nor were any of his coworkers told that he had hurt himself. He left the mine without filling out an accident report. I'm reporting this to prevent a citation. I don't think he was injured at this mine after the investigation was completed.
