Narrative

Attempting to line up the pan line, an employee stepped up on a relay bar and placed hand on top of the spill plate to get a better view. As EE was looking towards the headgate, a large rock slid down the pan line and slid across EE's left hand, pinching it between the rock and the spill plate causing a laceration.
