Narrative

She is a trained rib bolter with 5 years experience. She was wearing all of her personal protective equipment. As she was trying to install a bolt into the drilled rib, she pinched her right wrist between the rib strap and the coal rib causing a radial, distal fracture. The cause of the incident was poor hand placement.
