Narrative

The foreman, who had prior soreness in his back, was operating a dozer. At the end of the shift the miner could barely move due to increased discomfort. Two days later the miner sought medical attention where a doctor treated the miner for muscle spasms. The mine operator was not made aware of this reportable injury, through medical documentation, until 8/11/2009.
