Narrative

While bolting and removing a drill steel while it was rotating looked up to see a piece of shale slightly bigger than a softball slide down the steel and fly toward his face. He was struck on the nose leaving a laceration that required sutures to close and X-rays identified a nasal fracture. He was treated and released to unrestricted duty.
