Narrative

IE stated was pushing a rock, sized approximately 4' in length by 1.5' in thickness, into the miner conveyor. The rock started to tip up into the conveyor, when the IE's hand was pinched between the edge of the rock and to top of the mine roof, causing a laceration to the inside part of IE's left hand index finger.
