Narrative

During a belt adjustment on a screening plant, a miner's hand was caught between the counterbalance and the belt. Initially treated with first aid, no fracture was detected. However, a subsequent doctor's visit revealed a fracture, making the injury reportable and explaining the delay in reporting beyond the 14-day window.
