Narrative

EE was function testing shields when the pan line was pulled back coming into contact with a knee. EE did not seek medical attention till 11/7/2019 becoming a RLT on 11/11/2019. Cause of this incident was lack of EE concentration. 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.
