Narrative

Injured employee was in the process of installing permanent roof supports in a brow overhanging from the mine roof. He had placed the resin grouted rod to be installed into the hole & was pushing on the rod with his hands to straighten the roof bolt. The brow broke off & struck his right hand, resulting in a laceration that required sutures to close.
