Narrative

Miner was preparing to work on a crusher. Upon inspecting the crusher, EE hit head on the overhead conveyor (de-energized), which knocked off EE's hard hat. EE lurched forward to grab the hard hat and hit head on a support for the conveyor wiper which cut EE's head. EE received 5 staples from the ER. EE returned to doctor the next day and was released to full duty.
