Narrative

Contract employee was removing the tension off of belt clamps, tension on one side became tighter than the other and a bar that was laying on the belt kicked up striking face above the eyebrow. Cause of injury was not releasing clamps evenly and leaving unsecured bar on belt. Compliance with rules/regs, PPE, Mining systems/eguip. not a factor. Miner complacency may be a factor.
