Narrative

Three employees were in the basket of a JLG Aerial Lift bore scooping the the underground roof. As the employees traveled from one bore hole to the next, they noticed a small discolored stone on the roof. One of the employees grabbed the handheld scaler and struck the small stone. As the stone fell to the ground, a larger piece struck the employees left 4th finger.
