Narrative

A Lead Hand and another miner were replacing a roller on a cross over belt for the screen plant. In order to remove the bolts from the back side of the roller, the Lead Hand knelt down on the under screen belt and instantly felt pain in his right knee. The Lead Hand was taken to the local ER, where he was diagnosed with knee pain and placed in a splint to immobilize his knee.
