Narrative

A piece of rock from the mine roof located between the rib and the first roof bolt struck a roof bolter operator on the back and as the piece of rock slid off of his back it landed on his left foot as he attempted to move a roof bolter to install the next row of roof bolts. The employee suffered a fractured foot.
