Narrative

I.E. was lancing the off side shear jack pin on a continuous miner. While adjusting to cut a better hole they had some hot slag and flash blow back on them. This caused small burns to both their biceps and below the neck. I.E. worked until a doctor took them off for the burns to heal on 8-16-2021.
