Narrative

EE was removing a wall with a sledge hammer, doing so the EE caught finger between the block and the handle causing a laceration requiring glue. Cause of this incident was lack of employee concentration. PPE was not a factor, mining equipment/mining systems was not a factor, compliance with rules/regs was not a factor, miner proficiency may have been a factor.
