Narrative

The injured employee, an experienced continuous miner operator, was on the off-side of the miner at the bolter station to help troubleshoot why the ATRS jack would not lower. As the IE bent over to look at the hosing a stone fell from the corner and knocked IE against the framework of the miner, causing a laceration to IE's right eye and left shoulder discomfort.
