HANDLING OF MATERIALS at The Harrison County Coal Company
Employee was using a drill press to take bushings out of a steering arm. The part started to fall off press table and struck EE's hand. Cause of this injury was not seeking help to stabilize and lift the heavy arm. Compliance with compliance/rules, PPE, mining equip/systems was not a factor. Miner proficiency may have been a factor.
