Narrative

Injured EE was installing the pin in a relay bar on the 1-W Longwall set-up face. As EE was aligning the pin for insertion the relay bar unexpectedly shifted upward pinching EE's right hand between the pin and panline, causing a laceration to EE's thumb requiring 9 sutures. EE was wearing required PPE and did not violate any regulations.
