Narrative

Crusher with inadequate dust control was moved next to control shack, subjecting operator to high levels of rock dust. This resulted in shortness of breath and sore chest/lungs. This condition (excessive dust) persists. I am seeking medical attention today. I have missed three days of work so far. Time/date is approximate as condition grew worse over several weeks.
