Narrative

The employee was attempting to remove the bolter cable down from the ""J""hooks which were suspended from the roof by a roof bolt plate. As the employee lifted up on the roof bolter cable, the ""S""hook which is attached to the ""J"" hook came free from the plate eye. This resulted in the ""J""hook falling and striking the employee on the bridge of the nose resulting in a fracture.
