Narrative

While training a miner using a jackleg with a 4' steel to drill a bolt hole in the back, EE was advised to reposition the leg. While repositioning the leg, the miner gave the cob too much pressure losing control of the drill. The drill fell backward towards the trainer hitting EE in the face splitting EE's lip. *The miner received 3 stitches by the medical facility's doctor.
