Narrative

While waiting on the miner, the roof bolter operator went to reposition the bolter in the cross cut so that the opposite operator would have room to load the tray. Unaware of the other operator's position, the RB operator slewed the bolter which pinned the opposite operator's leg between the bumper and the rib resulting in a fractured tibia. EE started missing work on 5/7/24.
