Narrative

Employee was using a pick to create a hole in the coal rib to anchor the belt tailpiece. As EE was swinging the pick, EE felt a pull in EE's right shoulder. It did not involve any equipment or compliance issues. It also did not involve job skills, proficiency, training, PPE or protective devices. This is a questionable injury.
