## Narrative

While scaling 1/9/2010, an employee brought down loose scale that bounced & struck his leg.  First Aid was given, an 'abrasion' was reported, but no Medical Aid was sought. Two weeks later (1/26/2010) the wound became infected & required medical aid including a prescription making it a reportable incident.  We adjusted the miner's duty to allow for additional care while healing.
