Narrative

Two bolter operators had finished bolting the mine roof, backed the roof bolter up and started to hang a section of exhaust tubing. A large piece of rock fell out from the rib striking one employee on the leg causing a deep tissue contusion. IE was unable to return to EE's normal work duties. EE was placed on restricted duty restrictions due to weight bearing on the calf muscle.
