Narrative

Employee was bolting top in the #2 heading. He had put the rib bolt in and as he swung the head to install the second bolt a piece of rock fell and hit him a glancing blow to his left shoulder. He continued to work and due to complication he was put on light duty on June 22, 2012. The restricted days will be reported when he returns to full duty.
