Narrative

Employee was getting out of a scoop on south A track. The employee slipped and fell catching himself with his left hand resulting in a fractured wrist. The cause of the accident was the employee's lack of awareness to his surroundings. PPE was not a factor, mining systems may have been a factor, compliance rules/regs was not a factor, miner proficiency may have been a factor.
