Employee was in the process of reclaiming a water line at the old #2 beltline. As he was lifting the water line up to a trailer, his left ear scrapped against a belt chain that was hanging down from the mine roof causing a small cut to the inner portion of the ear. Later that evening, he went to the medical clinic and received 5 stitches.
