Narrative

EE was operating a walk-through bolter and was drilling a hole into the mine roof in preparation for installing a roof bolt. During this process, a piece of draw rock slid off of the wire mesh striking EE in the right hand. EE was transported to ER where EE had surgery and is expected to make a full recovery and return to normal occupation within 5-6 weeks.
