## Narrative

EE was standing beside the roof bolter machine making up 6' bolts when a piece of gob fell out hitting her on the back of her head causing her face to hit the bolter. Her nose began to bleed and when she got outside, she was taken to the ER to see if the nose was broken. It was not broken.
