Narrative

The miner was working on installation of a new dust collector. He had to reposition his safety harness by standing on a ""X"" brace of the dust collector to adjust himself. He slipped on the angle iron of the ""X"" brace about 8 ft and his right foot hit the end of the brace. X ray revealed that he had fractured bone on his fifth (smallest) toe of his right foot.
