Narrative

The employee was in the process of blocking under the undercarriage of a raised 14/15 CM continuous miner to replace the crawler pads. As he stuck his hand under the undercarriage to retrieve a wooden block the previously installed wooden crib under the cutter head shifted allowing the machine to fall catching his hand between the wearing strip and the mine floor.
