Narrative

While roof bolting a drill steel fell against the side of his neck. The steel was hot from use and caused a burn extending behind his right ear. He continued working and finished his shift before seeking medical attention, the wound was cleaned and he was issued a full release. The application of prescription medication made this a reportable injury.
