Narrative

On 09/22/21 IE was roof bolting on Unit 2. While installing the 3rd row of roof bolts, IE swung the drill boom towards the right rib. The IE set the drill boom. It is believed that the foot of the drill boom was either positioned on a rock or weak floor material. The base smashed the rock/weak floor and lowered the drill boom, striking the IE in the hard hat.
