Narrative

A Foreman had connected a chain ratchet to the #2 belt conveyor and a previously installed pillar rib bolt in order to pull the belt over in the track entry for clearance. After pulling the slack out of the ratchet, a piece of rock that the rib bolt was anchored in came loose and forced EE into the belt conveyor resulting in a broken right femur.
