Narrative

An employee walked up into the room and was standing next to the conveyor boom behind the cab of the miner. He was positioned partially under the roof bolts along the right side of the entry. As he turned to leave, a section of the roof separated up to the bolts and a portion struck the employee causing a laceration on the right side of his head which required four sutures.
