Narrative

Employee was lifting battery lid on scoop when EE felt a pain in the right shoulder. Employee continued working until EE underwent surgery on 4/25/2019 becoming a RLT. Cause of this injury was lack of employee awareness. PPE was not a factor, mining systems was not a factor, compliance with rules/regs was not a factor, miner proficiency may have been a factor.
