Narrative

EE was aligning the coupler by use of the handle from inside the goodman motor when they felt a pop in their biceps resulting in a tear. Cause of this incident was employee concentration. PPE was not a factor, mining systems was not a factor, compliance with rules and regulations was not a factor, miner proficiency may have been a factor.
