Narrative

An offside roof bolter operator was injured while attempting to remotely extend EE's ATRS Pad out. While positioned to extend EE's ATRS pad out manually, a piece of draw rock fell on the operator side ATRS causing the offside of the ATRS to raise and strike the offside employee in the face area. This resulted in a concussion and damage to teeth.
