Narrative

The injured employee was assisting another employee to hang a 5 hp flight face pump from the roof screens along the rib line in preparation for mining in the face. As the pump was hung from the edge of the screen, the screen sagged down away from the rib and a piece of coal sloughed off from the top of the rib and struck him in the right ankle.
