Narrative

On September 29th an employee was operating a roof bolter in 2 Bore Miner, when a piece of trona separated from the roof and fell, striking the overhead canopy. The piece of trona fractured into smaller pieces and a piece struck the employee in the left hand, causing a laceration. The wound required 10 sutures, thus making this a reportable injury.
