Narrative

Miner was leaning over with his right hand on the ground, checking for ore. A rock rolled onto his right hand (the hand that was on the ground), striking his #5 finger. He was taken to ER Room for x-rays, and it resulted in a fracture to the #5 finger. He was issued no work until 5/23/11, at that time he will be doing ""Light Duty"" as we can accommodate his restrictions.
