Narrative

A miner was working in the #1 production shaft. While being tied off to a divider, the employee stepped back onto the workdeck and radioed the hoist operator to go up. The employee forgot to transfer the lanyard from the divider to the work deck and was subsequently pulled off the work deck by the lanyard and landed on the divider fracturing a leg.
