Narrative

Working on the toggle plate at the jaw crusher, miner was using a pry-bar to break the toggle plate loose. As the plate came loose it caused the pry-bar to shift compressing the miners hand against the wall of the crusher. Miner believed EE was ok at that time. Six days later the miner went to doctors office and had it looked at. An X-ray was taken and discovered a broken bone.
